Making informed choices about contraception is an essential aspect of women’s reproductive health. Dr. Swathi Women’s Clinic is committed to providing comprehensive care, including guidance on various contraceptive options tailored to individual needs. This educational content aims to empower women with knowledge about contraceptive methods and shed light on common treatments offered at our clinic for various gynecological disorders.

Understanding Contraceptive Options:

Contraception is a vital component of family planning and reproductive health. Various contraceptive methods cater to different preferences, medical histories, and lifestyle considerations. At Dr. Swathi Women’s Clinic, we offer a range of contraceptive options, ensuring that women can make informed decisions about their reproductive health. Let’s explore some common contraceptive methods:

1. Oral Contraceptives (Birth Control Pills):
   • Combination Pills: Contain estrogen and progestin to prevent ovulation and alter cervical mucus, reducing the risk of pregnancy.
   • Progestin-Only Pills (Mini Pills): Suitable for women who cannot take estrogen-containing pills.
2. Contraceptive Patch:
   • A small patch applied to the skin, releasing hormones to prevent ovulation.
   • Changed weekly for three weeks, followed by one patch-free week.
3. Contraceptive Ring:
   • A flexible ring inserted into the vagina, releasing hormones to prevent pregnancy.
   • Worn for three weeks, followed by one ring-free week.
4. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):
   • Hormonal IUDs: Release progestin to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus.
   • Copper IUDs: Create a hostile environment for sperm, preventing fertilization.
5. Contraceptive Injection (Depo-Provera):
   • A progestin injection administered every three months to prevent ovulation.
6. Barrier Methods:
   • Male and Female Condoms: Physical barriers preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
   • Diaphragm: A silicone cup placed over the cervix before intercourse, used with spermicide.
7. Permanent Contraception:
   • Tubal Ligation: Surgical procedure blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes, preventing the egg from reaching the uterus.
