A woman with current breast cancer wants a highly effective, reversible contraceptive method. Which option is most appropriate if she has no pelvic infection or uterine abnormality?
Correct answer: D. A copper intrauterine device
- A. Combined oral contraceptive pills
- B. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate
- C. A progestin contraceptive implant
- D. A copper intrauterine device
Explanation
The copper intrauterine device is nonhormonal and provides highly effective, reversible contraception. Hormonal methods such as the pill, depot injection and implant are generally avoided in current breast cancer because of concern about hormone-sensitive disease.
