Contraception

Contraception, also known as birth or fertility control, is a method or device used to prevent pregnancy.

There are different methods of contraception, including:

• Combined oral contraceptive pill or progestogen-only contraceptive pill
• Long-acting reversible contraception, such as the subcutaneous implant (hormonal) placed in the arm or intra-uterine device (IUD), which can be with copper or hormonal
• Barrier methods, such as condoms
• Fertility awareness (with high risk of failure)
• Permanent contraception, such as vasectomy (for men) and tubal ligation or occlusion (for women)

Discuss with your Doctor which are your contraception options and which method is better for you.
