Long-acting reversible contraception in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Adolescents and young women have high 12‐month continuation of long‐acting reversible contraceptive methods, and intrauterine devices and implants should be offered to all adolescents as first‐line contraceptive options.
Journal Article

Disorders of Puberty: An Approach to Diagnosis and Management.

TL;DR: Patients with early isolated pubertal changes, prepubertal linear growth, and no worrisome neurologic symptoms typically have a benign pattern of development and should be monitored in the appropriate clinical context, but among patients with true precocious puberty, or full activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, most girls have an idiopathic etiology, whereas it is commonly due to identifiable pathology on imaging in boys.

Long-acting reversible contraception in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal Article

Journal ArticleDOI
