Contraceptive Management and Birth Control Options
For women of child bearing age several birth control options are available. These include both reversible and permanent forms. Each birth control method offers its own benefits and advantages. To decide which type is right for you, there are a number of things to consider. It is best to sit down with your doctor to discuss your options. Dr. Dooley can help you determine which one is right for you.
The type of contraception you choose should largely depend on whether or not you wish to have children in the future. Your medical conditions can limit the types of birth control that are available for you to safe use. You may also want to take into consideration any side effects such as headaches and weight gain, level of hormones, effectiveness and other factors.
Common reversible birth control methods that contain hormones include pills, patches, vaginal rings, injections, implants, and some intrauterine devices or IUDS.
Non-hormonal methods include condoms, copper IUDs and and natural family planning methods.
Unlike most other birth control methods, using a condom may also protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms do not require a prescription, but you must remember to use them every time if you intend to avoid an unplanned pregnancy.
Common permanent birth control options include female tubal surgeries and male vasectomies.
To determine the best option for you, please schedule an appointment.
