Contraception and Family Planning
Contraception and family planning are essential components of women’s healthcare, allowing individuals to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and plan for the future. At Surabhi Medical Hall, we are committed to providing comprehensive contraceptive services and family planning support to women of all ages.
Contraception, also known as birth control, refers to methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy. With a wide range of options available, including hormonal methods, barrier methods, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent sterilization, we work closely with each individual to find the most suitable method based on their health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals.
Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings, work by releasing hormones (estrogen and/or progestin) to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. These methods are highly effective when used correctly and consistently.
Barrier methods, such as condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps, create a physical barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. While less effective than hormonal methods, they offer protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and are suitable for individuals who prefer non-hormonal options.
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Available in hormonal and non-hormonal (copper) varieties, IUDs provide long-lasting, reversible contraception, with some types lasting up to 10 years.
Permanent sterilization, such as tubal ligation (for women) and vasectomy (for men), offers a permanent solution for individuals who have completed their desired family size and do not wish to have more children.
In addition to contraceptive methods, we provide comprehensive family planning services to help individuals and couples achieve their reproductive goals. This includes preconception counseling, fertility evaluations, and assistance with fertility awareness methods for those trying to conceive.
Our team of healthcare professionals offers personalized counseling and support to help individuals make informed decisions about contraception and family planning. We understand that these decisions are deeply personal and can have long-term implications for your health and well-being, which is why we strive to provide compassionate, non-judgmental care to all our patients.
