Contraception and sexual health in obese women
•Obese adult women do not differ from
normal-weight women regarding sexual health, sexual behavior, and contraceptive
use.
•Body image may lead obese adolescents to
engage in riskier behavior, placing them at a greater risk of an unintended
pregnancy.
•Evidence is reassuring that most modern
contraceptive methods are safe and effective in obese women.
•There is some evidence that oral emergency
contraception is less effective in overweight and obese women.
