Many women would like to either partly or completely dispense with their monthly menstruation and its accompanying attributes. Taking oral hormonal contraceptives (OC) is possible. However, currently no OC preparation is authorized specifically for this indication in Germany. In their daily work, gynecologists are often confronted with questions about this topic: Which preparation can be recommended? What are the results of tolerance tests? What are the effects on existing illnesses, e.g. endometriosis, ovarian cysts, epilepsy? The new gynecological handbook covers active ingredients recommended for long cycles, provides dosage tables for their consumption, summarizes the results of scientific research on long-cycle contraception and deals with special issues and recommendations involving existing illnesses. This booklet provides gynecologists with a reliable guide to the subject, giving them assurance in prescribing preparations, and in monitoring and handling their patients. Zahlreiche Frauen wünschen sich, teilweise oder ganz auf die monatliche Menstruation und ihre Begleiterscheinungen verzichten zu können. Durch die Langzeiteinnahme von oralen hormonellen Kontrazeptiva (OC) ist das möglich, aber: Gegenwärtig ist in Deutschland kein OC-Präparat speziell auf diese Indikation zugelassen. In der täglichen Praxis werden Gynäkologen oftmals mit Fragen zum Thema konfrontiert: Welches Präparat ist empfehlenswert? Gibt es Ergebnisse zur Verträglichkeit? Was passiert bei vorhandenen Grunderkrankungen, z.B. Endometriose, Ovarialzysten, Epilepsie? Das neue Frauenärztliche Taschenbuch geht auf empfehlenswerte Wirkstoffe für den Langzyklus ein, gibt Dosierungsschemata zur Einnahme, fasst die Ergebnisse der wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zum Langzyklus zusammen und geht auf Besonderheiten und Empfehlungen bei Grunderkrankungen ein. Dieser verlässliche Wegweiser bietet Sicherheit bei der Verordnung von Präparaten, bei der Verlaufskontrolle und im Umgang mit den Patientinnen.

Botswana has had a stable democratic government and good governance since independence in 1966. With a sustained high average economic growth (about 9 percent) fueled by the diamond mining industry, it is the only country in Africa listed among the 13 'economic miracles' of the world for 1960-2005. The total fertility rate remains high in Sub-Saharan Africa, with 25 countries showing a rate greater than 5.0. In contrast, Botswana experienced the greatest fertility decline in the region during 1980-2006, with the total fertility rate decreasing from 7.1 in 1981 to 3.2 in 2006. The Botswana national family planning program, judged the strongest in Africa, contributed to this decline. The government strongly committed to meeting family planning needs, integrated maternal and child health/family planning (MCH/FP) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services in 1973. The government spends about 18 percent of its total budget on health, a higher proportion than the Abuja declaration's target of 15 percent.
