Question : Which of the following is a contraindication for the use of oral contraceptives?
A. Nulliparity
B. History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
C. Menstrual irregularities
D. Mild hypertension
Answer: B
Explanation: Oral contraceptives containing estrogen increase the risk of venous thrombosis, so they are contraindicated in patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism. Nulliparity and menstrual irregularities are not contraindications; mild hypertension can be used under close monitoring. Hence, the correct answer is B.
