| Abstract (English): |
BACKGROUND: Contraception has changed the historical development of many women and allowed personal development not linked to the attachment of successive pregnancies without planning. Many decades ago the clinical efficacy of hormonal contraception is beyond doubt even by general population. However, there are still too many myths about their safety and about certain circumstances of their use that condition the decisions of both health professionals and potential users. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective trial consisting of the search of original articles and systematic reviews published in the last ten years in the PubMed database, specifically related to hormonal contraception. Search words (MeSH) were: hormonal contraception, oral contraceptives, myths about oral contraceptives and others. The articles with the highest level of evidence were selected, more than 50 documents were analyzed and the most relevant ones were located regarding the myths and realities around hormonal contraception. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the personal and social change that hormonal contraception has brought about in the past fifty years, there are still too many myths about their safety and their relationship with regular bleeding, which adversely affect the information provided to potential users and decisions of the woman who needs safe and comfortable contraception.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
ANTECEDENTES: La anticoncepción ha cambiado el devenir histórico de muchas mujeres, además de permitir su desarrollo personal, sin ligarse a los embarazos sucesivos sin planificación. Hace muchas décadas que la eficacia clínica de la anticoncepción hormonal está fuera de duda, incluso por parte de la población general. Persisten, sin embargo, demasiados mitos acerca de su seguridad y sobre determinadas circunstancias de su empleo que condicionan las decisiones profesionales de la salud y de usuarias potenciales. METODOLOGÍA: Ensayo retrospectivo consistente en la búsqueda de artículos originales y revisiones sistemáticas publicados en los últimos diez años en la base de datos de PubMed, específicamente relacionados con temas de anticoncepción hormonal. Las palabras de búsqueda (MeSH) fueron: hormonal contraception, oral contraceptives, myths about oral contraceptives y otros. Se seleccionaron los artículos de mayor nivel de evidencia; se analizaron más de 50 documentos y, de éstos, se ubicaron los más relevantes en cuanto a los mitos y las realidades en torno a la anticoncepción hormonal. CONCLUSIONES: A pesar del cambio personal y social que la anticoncepción hormonal ha supuesto en los pasados 50 años, persisten aún demasiados mitos acerca de su seguridad y relación con los sangrados regulares, que condicionan negativamente la información proporcionada a las posibles usuarias y las decisiones de la mujer que requiere anticoncepción segura y confortable.
