Abstract
Contraception is an important issue for female travelers, but one that is often neglected in the pre-travel consult. Options have expanded in the 21st century. Travel medicine practitioners should have a basic understanding of the choices available to their female patients, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. This paper will review the contraceptive methods available to female travelers, including newer methods, and discuss emergency contraception options.
