Birth Control Q&A

Common Birth Control Methods

Birth control methods offer reliable protection against pregnancy. Here are some of the most popular options:

Barrier Methods

  • Condoms: The only method that protects against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • Diaphragms and Cervical Caps: Barrier devices that must be used with spermicide.

Hormonal Methods

  • Hormonal Pills, Patches, and Rings: Deliver hormones to prevent ovulation.
  • Hormonal Injections: Provide long-lasting hormonal protection.
  • Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Small devices inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

Permanent Methods

  • Sterilization Procedures: Surgical procedures for men and women to prevent future pregnancies.

Emergency Contraception

  • Emergency Pills: Taken after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.

While most birth control methods are highly effective when used correctly, it's important to consider factors like your health, lifestyle, and preferences. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help you select the best option for your individual needs.

Finding the Right Birth Control

To determine the best birth control method for you, our providers consider various factors such as your age, sexual history, frequency of intercourse, family planning goals, and medical history. By understanding your unique needs, they can help you choose a method that is both effective and convenient.
