Contraceptives

Birth control : no "one size fits all"

Contraceptives are a vital component of reproductive healthcare, providing individuals and couples with the ability to plan and space pregnancies. I believe that every pregnancy should be planned and looked forward to. Contraceptive methods aim to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

What works for you?

Choosing the right contraceptive method requires careful consideration of various factors, including individual preferences, health concerns, effectiveness, ease of use, and long-term goals. By assessing your needs and pre-existing medical conditions (if any), I can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and reproductive goals.

Contraceptive methods

Price shown does not include consultation, instruments and procedure fees.

CONDOM

82% effective

Condoms are made of thin latex or polyurethane material. They provide a physical barrier between the penis and vagina, preventing the exchange of bodily fluids and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) - the ONLY method that can reduce STIs. Condoms are highly accessible. You don't need me for this!

An intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is either made of plastic with a copper coil (intrauterine copper device - IUCD) or plastic that releases progestin (eg Mirena). It provides long-term, highly effective contraception and can be used for several years before needing to be replaced.

IMPLANT | RM670

Implanon is a small, flexible rod about the size of a matchstick that is inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a progestin hormone called etonogestrel, which prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Implanon provides long-term contraception for up to three years, offering a convenient and highly effective option for individuals seeking reliable birth control.
