Objective. - To summarize current knowledge on contraceptive coverage in France and worldwide, describe the effectiveness of different types of contraceptives, describe the characteristics of women using contraception, contraceptive failure situations and describe the different medical risks associated with contraceptive methods.Methods. - Consultation of the Medline database and of national or international reports on contraception.Results. - Contraceptive coverage in France is high: 97% of women in 2013 use a contraceptive method (among fertile, sexually active women without a desire for pregnancy), with a majority using medical methods (72% using pills and other hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices and 25% using natural and traditional barrier methods). The 2013 pill scare called into question the use of estrogen-progestogenic contraception and the information provided by doctors, but the pill remains the first contraceptive method followed by the intrauterine device, condoms and the traditional and natural methods. Lifetime contraceptive coverage changes according to a defined standard in France: condoms for the teen-agers, pills before pregnancy and then intrauterine devices after childbirth. Sterilization is very rarely chosen and offered. Contraception in France remains a predominantly female domain. Women and couples should be informed about all contraceptive methods, allowing them to choose the method that best suits their health, living conditions and sexuality.
