Contraception

At Athena Women’s Clinic, we understand that choosing the right contraception method is an important decision for women at different stages of life. Our comprehensive contraception services are designed to provide you with personalized options and expert guidance to support your reproductive health and family planning needs.

Our Contraception Options Include:

  1. Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs):

    • Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Small, T-shaped devices placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are available in hormonal and non-hormonal (copper) options and can provide effective contraception for several years.
    • Implants: Small, flexible rods inserted under the skin of the upper arm that release hormones to prevent pregnancy. Implants provide long-term contraception and are highly effective.
  2. Hormonal Methods:

    • Birth Control Pills: Oral contraceptives that contain hormones (estrogen and progestin) to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
    • Contraceptive Patch: A thin, adhesive patch worn on the skin that releases hormones similar to birth control pills.
    • Vaginal Ring: A small, flexible ring inserted into the vagina that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.
  3. Barrier Methods:

    • Male and Female Condoms: Physical barriers that prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
    • Diaphragm and Cervical Cap: Silicone or latex devices inserted into the vagina to cover the cervix and prevent sperm from entering.
  4. Natural Family Planning: Methods that involve tracking your menstrual cycle and avoiding unprotected intercourse during fertile times.

Our Approach to Infertility Care

Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough evaluation of both partners to identify potential causes of infertility. This may include reviewing medical history, conducting physical exams, and performing diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ultrasound, and semen analysis.
