Abstract

Objective: To analyse the use of combined hormonal contraceptives as a method of family planning in adolescents. Method: Systematic review of 15 articles. Results and conclusion: Significant non-contraceptive benefits were identified, such as reduced dysmenorrhea and improved acne. Formulations with reduced estrogen doses (15-20 μg) offer an optimal balance between efficacy and side effects. The Ecuadorian context presents specific sociocultural barriers that limit their adoption. It is concluded that these methods are fundamental tools for preventing unplanned pregnancies and preserving educational opportunities, requiring a comprehensive approach that considers the individual and contextual characteristics of adolescents.
