Contraception (Birth
Control)
Oral -
Oral contraceptives
continue to be the most popular form of birth control. Because
there are numerous oral contraceptives on the market today, it is
best to discuss with your health care provider which one is right for
you.
IUD - The IUD, or
intrauterine
device, is gaining popularity among women. Convenience is the
number one reason women choose the IUD. There are two IUD's
that we currently offer. The
Mirena IUD
is inserted in the
office and can remain in place for five years. The
Paragard
IUD is also inserted in the office and can remain in place for ten
years.
Tubal Ligation - A
tubal
ligation is a permanent sterilization procedure performed in an
outpatient surgical setting such as a hospital.
Essure -
Essure is a surgical procedure
which can be performed in the office or an outpatient surgical
setting. This method is achieved by surgically placing coils
in the fallopian tubes causing them to form scar tissue and therefore become occluded, or closed.
NuvaRing - The
NuvaRing is a
contraceptive vaginal ring that is self administered.
Implants -
Implanon
is a small,
single implantable device that is inserted in the inner upper arm by
your healthcare provider. It can remain in place for up to
three years.
Injection -
Depo Provera
is a
form of birth control that is injected into your upper arm every
three months.
Although the above
methods of contraception prove to be the most effective at
preventing pregnancy, there are other options available that your
healthcare provider can discuss with you.
*Please remember,
birth control alone does not protect you from contracting sexually
transmitted diseases.
