FAMILY PLANNING & CONTRACEPTION FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What birth control options are available?
We offer a wide range of options, including pills, patches, injections, IUDs, implants, condoms, diaphragms, and permanent solutions like tubal ligation.
How do I know which contraception method is right for me?
During a consultation, we’ll discuss your lifestyle, health history, and preferences to recommend the best options for your needs.
What is the difference between hormonal and non-hormonal birth control?
Hormonal methods regulate your cycle and prevent ovulation, while non-hormonal options act as physical barriers or rely on natural tracking methods. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons of each.
How effective is emergency contraception?
Emergency contraceptive pills like Plan B are most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Copper IUDs are the most effective option and can be placed within 5 days.
Is sterilization reversible?
Female sterilization is considered a permanent procedure. While reversal is sometimes possible, it’s not guaranteed. We’ll discuss all options to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
What should I expect during an IUD or implant placement?
Both are quick, in-office procedures. You may experience mild discomfort during placement, but most patients return to normal activities the same day. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
