When it comes to your reproductive health, making informed decisions is crucial. I’m Dr. Sawsan Merhej, and I’m here to support you in finding the right contraception method that fits your lifestyle, health needs, and future plans. Whether you’re looking for temporary or long-term solutions, I offer personalized guidance to help you make the best choice for your body.
Understanding Your Contraception Options
Choosing the right contraception is a personal decision that should be based on your individual needs and circumstances. Here’s an overview of the options I offer:
Oral Contraceptives (Birth Control Pills):
“A popular choice for many women, birth control pills are effective and easy to use. They work by regulating hormones to prevent ovulation.”Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):
“IUDs are a long-term, reversible option. They are placed in the uterus and can provide protection for several years, depending on the type.”Contraceptive Injections:
“These injections are administered every three months and offer a convenient, effective option for pregnancy prevention.”Contraceptive Implants:
“Implants are a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of your arm. They release hormones to prevent pregnancy and can last for up to three years.”Barrier Methods:
“Methods like condoms and diaphragms provide a physical barrier to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. These are effective and also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).”Emergency Contraception:
“In case of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy if taken within a specific timeframe.”Permanent Contraception (Tubal Ligation):
“For those who are certain they don’t want more children, tubal ligation is a permanent option that prevents pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes.”
