Types of Contraceptives

From the pill to the IUD, these days women have more options than ever when it comes to preventing pregnancy. We offer both types, as well as permanent options. Let’s take a look at some of the many options we offer our patients.

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs)

Effective, reversible and with low instances of side effects, LARCs are some of the most widely used contraceptives out there. Our options include several types of hormonal and non-hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs), as well as the Nexplanon. The Nexplanon is a subdermal implant that goes in the arm. It's just as effective as the pill, but without the daily hassle.

The benefits of LARCs include efficacy, a hassle-free method of preventing pregnancy and a low chance of complications.

Hormonal Contraceptives

While the pill is a very common choice for women, it is not the only hormonal contraceptive available. Another option includes the vaginal ring, a flexible, plastic ring that is placed in the upper vagina. It releases estrogen and progestin that are absorbed through the vaginal tissues into the body. Finally, the contraceptive patch is a small adhesive patch that is worn on the skin. It releases estrogen and progestin, which are absorbed through the skin into the body, preventing pregnancy.

The benefits of hormonal contraceptives include regulating cycles, managing abnormal bleeding, and providing shorter and less painful periods.

Permanent Birth Control

Permanent birth control methods include tubal ligation or complete removal of the fallopian tubes. Both methods prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. These procedures are typically performed via laparoscopy, an operation performed with small incisions and the aid of a camera. The benefits of laparoscopy include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging and shorter recovery time.

Barrier Methods

Barrier contraceptive methods include spermicide, condoms, the sponge, diaphragms, and cervical caps. These methods act as barriers to keep the man’s sperm from reaching the woman’s egg.

While barrier methods are not as effective as other birth control methods, some of them are widely available and don’t require a prescription.
