Quality of the sources of the article

I just stumbled upon this article a few hours after having read Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). I have been surprised by the important number of primary sources and popular press while there is an important number of reviews and clinical guidelines that assessed all the available literature, including evaluating evidence quality.

Per the Misplaced Pages policies of neutral point of view, no original research, and verifiability, articles need to be based on reliable, independent, published secondary or tertiary sources. For biomedical content, the Misplaced Pages community relies on guidance contained in expert scientific reviews and textbooks, and in official statements published by major medical and scientific bodies. Note that health-related content in the general news media should not normally be used to source biomedical content in Misplaced Pages articles. (From Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources (medicine)#Avoid primary sources)

For the benefit of the reader, shouldn't this article avoid primary sources and popular press, except for fresh new studies satisfying quality of evidence criteria, but not included yet in reviews and clinical guidelines? Mathias Hoffnung (talk) 19:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

pdh1997 review: The addition of the Menorrhea section was clear and appreciated the use of inclusive language. Additional sources work and are correct. One section of critique is that the use of inclusive language could be adjusted throughout the article. (Ex: people who menstruate or have ovaries instead of women) Overall great additions and edits to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdh1997 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Isn't progesterone contraindicated for people with ehlers danlos syndrome? 2601:645:100:8380:0:0:0:CA87 (talk) 02:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Has bioidentical progesterone ever been combined with estrogen in a trialed birth control study?

I did a little looking around and I can't tell.

Bioidentical (found in nature) progesterone as opposed to progestin (not found in nature). --Timeshifter (talk) 09:19, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Misinterpreted primary source

The article quote this study: Effects of combined hormonal contraception on health and wellbeing: Women's knowledge in northern Italy,Nappi et al. (2014).

This study is about the knowledge of CHC effects on health among women. For example, 48% of the respondant believed CHC could cause low sex drive

Another 47% of the women recorded vaginal dryness and 48% experienced low sex drive.

, but contrary to what's written in the article, they didn't report low sex drive for themselves.

Better, secondary, more on point sources on the effects of CHC on health should be used. ] (talk) 13:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
