Understanding Your Contraception Options
Choosing the right contraception is an important decision for your health and lifestyle. Modern contraceptive methods are highly effective and offer a variety of ways to prevent pregnancy and manage hormonal health.
Types of Contraception
- Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill: Contains two hormones (oestrogen and progestogen). Examples include Microgynon, Rigevidion, and Yasmin.
- Progestogen-Only Pill (Mini-Pill): Suitable for those who cannot take oestrogen. Options include Cerazette and Hana.
- Emergency Contraception: Used after unprotected sex or a contraceptive failure. Treatments like EllaOne and Levonelle are most effective when taken as soon as possible.
- Hormonal Patches: Applied to the skin weekly (e.g., Evra).
Benefits Beyond Pregnancy Prevention
- Lighter, more regular, and less painful periods.
- Management of symptoms related to PCOS or endometriosis.
- Improved clarity of hormonal acne.
- Control over the timing of your cycle.
