Birth control describes different methods of contraception to prevent unintended pregnancies. There are many types of birth control available for women to help them plan for the family they want, including:
Barrier methods like condoms and sponges stop the sperm from meeting the egg to prevent fertilization. You must use this type of birth control each time you have sex to protect against unwanted pregnancy.
Short-acting contraceptives like birth control pills, vaginal rings, and injections use hormones to stop ovulation and provide effective pregnancy prevention.
Long-acting contraceptives like intrauterine devices (IUDs) provide longer-lasting pregnancy protection than other hormonal methods. Nonhormonal IUDs are available that use copper, a substance toxic to sperm, to prevent fertilization.
Sterilization procedures like tubal ligation are a permanent form of birth control that offers lifelong pregnancy protection.
Eveskare offers a range of popular birth control options for adolescent girls and adult women, including:
If you’re interested in an IUD, Dr. Panchamukhi provides IUD placement and removal procedures in-office.
Dr. Panchamukhi also provides condoms and other sexual health resources to lower your risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). STDs are contagious and spread from person to person through unprotected vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse.
During your initial birth control consultation at Eveskare, you can discuss your personal preferences with Dr. Panchamukhi to identify which birth control options are a good fit.
Other factors that influence your choices in birth control include:
Dr. Panchamukhi also considers your personal and family medical histories when helping you select the best contraceptive method. For instance, if you can’t tolerate hormonal birth control, she may suggest a copper IUD.
If you’re already on birth control and interested in becoming pregnant, Dr. Panchamukhi provides guidance for stopping contraceptive use safely. She can also help you find an effective birth control method after childbirth or discuss your options for tubal ligation if you’re done having children.
