BIRTH CONTROL
There are numerous birth control methods designed to prevent pregnancy, each offering different benefits and suiting different lifestyles. At Midwest Reproductive Health we offer the following methods:
Barrier Methods:
Condoms: One of the most well-known and easily accessible methods, condoms provide a physical barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. They also help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Diaphragms and Cervical Caps:
These are inserted into the vagina to cover the cervix, blocking sperm from reaching the uterus.
Hormonal Methods:
Birth Control Pills: These are oral contraceptives containing hormones that prevent ovulation. They need to be taken daily.
Birth Control Patch: A patch worn on the skin that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It's changed weekly.
Vaginal Ring: A small, flexible ring inserted into the vagina that releases hormones. It's left in place for three weeks.
Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs):
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus that can provide contraception for several years, depending on the type.
Implants: Small rods inserted under the skin that release hormones to prevent pregnancy for several years.
Remember, this quiz is a general guide. For a more accurate recommendation, it's essential to discuss your options and preferences with a healthcare provider. They can provide tailored advice based on your unique needs and health considerations.
Understanding the benefits, side effects, and effectiveness of each method is key to making an informed decision. Our goal is to provide information that empowers individuals to take charge of their reproductive health, making choices that best fit their lives.
