title: [Reversible long-duration contraceptives: an efficient strategy to reduce non-planned pregnancies].
abstract: Long-term contraception, reversible, have shown high rates of effectiveness and long-term compliance, with few contraindications. However, despite that Mexico has a variety of reversible contraception, most women still using less effective options. The resulting health benefits of contraception are important because they prevent unintended pregnancy, reduce the number of abortions and the incidence of death and disability related to pregnancy and childbirth complications. The Committee for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights of the Mexican Federation of Colleges of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FEMECOG) conducted a literature review to evaluate the use of long-term contraception reversible as an effective and accessible tool to reduce the incidence unintended pregnancy and its consequences.
