Birth Control

Introduction

Birth control isn't merely about preventing pregnancy; it's about empowering individuals to take charge of their reproductive health and overall wellness journey. At Venetian Health, we understand the significance of comprehensive contraceptive care and its impact on individuals' and families' lives. 

Understanding Birth Control

Birth control, also known as contraception, encompasses a range of methods designed to prevent pregnancy. These methods vary in effectiveness, mode of administration, and duration of use, providing individuals with options tailored to their lifestyle, preferences, and health needs.

Types of Birth Control

• Hormonal Methods:  
• Barrier Methods:

1. Condoms: Using either latex or polyurethane condoms during sexual intercourse is a highly effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancy. 

2. Diaphragm: A cervical cap is a tiny cup made of silicone that one can place in the female reproductive organ to prevent sperm from entering the uterus.

3. Cervical Cap: A smaller, dome-shaped device similar to the diaphragm, but smaller and made of silicone.

• Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC):

1. Intrauterine devices (IUDs): Small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy for several years, depending on the type.

2. Birth control implant: An implant is a small device that is inserted beneath the skin of the upper arm, which releases hormones to prevent pregnancy for up to three years.

• Non-Hormonal Methods:

Copper IUD: An IUD that does not contain hormones but releases copper ions, which are toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization.

Benefits of Birth Control

• Prevention of unintended pregnancy
• Regulation of menstrual cycles and reduction of menstrual cramps
• Treatment of hormonal imbalances and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Protection against certain gynecological conditions, including ovarian cysts and endometriosis
• Enhancement of reproductive autonomy and family planning options
