At Orkid Hospital, our team of doctors is dedicated to providing comprehensive and confidential contraception counseling to our patients. We understand that every individual’s needs are unique, and we strive to provide personalized recommendations and support.
During your appointment, the doctor will discuss your medical history and current health status, as well as your lifestyle and personal preferences. This information will be used to help determine the best contraceptive option for you.
Some of the contraceptive options available at Orkid Hospital include:
- Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs): These are taken daily and use hormones to prevent pregnancy. They can also regulate menstrual cycles and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
- Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs): These include intrauterine devices (IUDs) and hormonal injections. They are highly effective and do not require daily attention.
- Barrier methods: These include condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps. They physically block the sperm from reaching the egg.
- Sterilization: This is a permanent form of birth control and can be done through tubal ligation (for women) or vasectomy (for men).
In addition to discussing the risks and benefits of each method, our healthcare provider will also provide information on emergency contraception options and the importance of using contraception consistently and correctly.
We also recognize the importance of safe sex and the use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in addition to pregnancy, our team will educate you on the importance of this.
Contraception counseling is an ongoing process, and our team will work with you to re-evaluate your chosen method and make changes as needed. Additionally, we provide contraception counseling to all regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, and relationship status.
We are committed to providing you with the information, resources, and support you need to make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
