The multiplicity of oral contraceptives suggests a classification for clinical routine. From the dosage of estrogens and gestagens in oral contraceptives, aberration indices were calculated from consideration of proliferation and transformation aspects. According to these a classification of oral contraceptives into 3 "estrogen" groups and 4 "gestagen" groups was made. Such a classification was made in 525 women taking oral contraceptives which took into consideration the following parameters: age, length of time during which oral contraceptives had been taken, subjective side-effects, sexual medical and psychometric aspects.
