Understanding Contraception
Contraception, also known as birth control, refers to methods and devices used to prevent pregnancy. With a wide range of contraceptive options available, it’s essential to find the method that aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and reproductive goals. At Dr Lauren’s practice we provide comprehensive contraception counselling to help you explore your options and make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
Our Contraception Services
Dr Lauren offers a variety of contraception services, including:
- Contraception Counselling: Dr Lauren provides personalized contraception counselling to discuss your contraceptive needs, preferences, and concerns. During your consultation, we’ll review the available contraceptive methods, their effectiveness, potential side effects, and any relevant medical considerations to help you choose the method that’s right for you.
- Prescription Contraceptives: We offer prescription contraceptives, including birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings, which work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, or thinning the uterine lining to inhibit fertilization and implantation.
- Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC): LARC methods, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants, provide highly effective, long-term contraception with minimal user intervention. These methods offer convenience, reliability, and rapid return to fertility upon removal, making them suitable options for women of all ages and reproductive stages.
- Permanent Contraception Options: For women seeking permanent contraception, Dr Lauren provides counselling and performs laparoscopic tubal ligation (application of clips) or bilateral salpingectomy (removal of tubes) for sterilization procedures.
Benefits of Contraception
- Prevention of Unplanned Pregnancy: Contraception allows you to plan and space pregnancies according to your personal and family goals, reducing the risk of unintended pregnancy and its associated physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
- Management of Menstrual Symptoms: Certain contraceptive methods can help alleviate symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding, menstrual cramps, and irregular cycles, improving your overall quality of life and menstrual health.
- Reproductive Autonomy: Contraception empowers you to take control of your reproductive health and make choices that align with your individual values, preferences, and life circumstances.
