SynopsisMenstrual health hygiene equity involves increasing awareness about the global environmental impact of disposable menstrual products and creating equitable opportunity for healthy hygiene products.

Purpose of reviewTo review the current literature on the multiple types and uses of progestins in reproductive healthcare. Recent findingsProgestins for contraceptive use are available in multiple forms, with the ongoing development of transdermal, intravaginal, and male contraception formulations. Noncontraceptive use of progestins often overlaps with contraceptive indications, which allows for simultaneous multipurpose progestin use, especially in reproductive-aged patients. More studies are needed to determine contraceptive doses of progestins used for noncontraceptive purposes. Side effect profiles of progestins are dependent on their formulation and cross-reactivity with other steroid receptors. Development of newer progestins includes manipulating pharmacologic properties to avoid undesired side effects.
