Birth Control

Today, we have a large variety of birth control methods and medications available to us. When you visit the office, we will go over your options, including various birth control pills, the Nuva Ring, barrier methods like the diaphragm, Implanon and IUDs. If you are interested in learning about permanent birth control methods, please see the Sterilization section.

Mirena & ParaGard IUDs

More than 600 million women in the world use IUDs (intra-uterine devices) for birth control. These have proven highly successful and inexpensive in family planning. The Mirena IUD is the newest IUD specifically designed for women who want the convenience of an IUD but have never had children. It can be very helpful for all women in controlling abnormal bleeding because it slowly and continually releases small amounts of progesterone.
