Understanding Discontinuation Rates and Acceptance of the Low-Dose Levonorgestrel Intrauterine System in Spain: A Comprehensive Analysis of Bleeding Patterns and Influencing Factors

By doing so, health care providers can improve contraceptive counseling, reduce discontinuation rates, and enhance women's satisfaction.
