Hormonal Birth Control Options

Hormonal contraceptives regulate menstrual cycles, reduce period symptoms, and prevent pregnancy. Here are the options available

Birth Control Pills

Birth control pills are a daily oral contraceptive containing estrogen and progestin. They prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to block sperm. Pills are convenient and effective when taken as directed.

Birth Control Implant (Nexplanon)

A small, flexible rod inserted under the skin of your arm releases progestin for up to 5 years. This low-maintenance option is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.

Birth Control Patch

Worn on the skin, the patch releases hormones absorbed through the skin to prevent ovulation. It’s replaced weekly and is just as effective as birth control pills.

Birth Control Shot (Depo-Provera)

The Depo shot is an injection given every 3 months, offering a flexible, low-maintenance solution for birth control. It’s particularly effective, with a success rate of over 99%.

Vaginal Ring (NuvaRing)

The NuvaRing is a soft, flexible device inserted into the vagina, providing month-long contraception. It releases hormones directly into the bloodstream for consistent protection.

Non-Hormonal Birth Control Options

For women who prefer or require non-hormonal options, we offer alternatives such as:

Condoms – Condoms are a barrier method that prevents sperm from entering the vagina. They’re the only form of birth control that also protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Diaphragm – A diaphragm is a reusable device that blocks sperm from reaching the cervix. Used with spermicide, it provides 86-94% effectiveness when fitted properly.
Copper IUD (Paragard®) – The non-hormonal IUD is a T-shaped device that prevents pregnancy for up to 10 years. It works by creating an environment that’s toxic to sperm and eggs.

Long-Term and Permanent Birth Control Options

Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

IUDs are small devices inserted into the uterus. Hormonal IUDs (Mirena®, Kyleena™, Skyla®, and Liletta®) last between 3 and 6 years, while the copper IUD (Paragard®) lasts up to 10 years. Both options are 99% effective and reversible.

Tubal Ligation (Permanent Contraception)

For women seeking permanent birth control, tubal ligation blocks the fallopian tubes, preventing eggs from meeting sperm. This procedure is not reversible, so it’s important to discuss your long-term plans with Dr Sidiq.
