What Contraceptive Methods Are Available?

Every woman is different, and so are contraceptive methods. There are various options, and we help you find the one that best suits you:

• Hormonal contraceptives: Such as birth control pills, patches, or vaginal rings that release hormones to prevent ovulation.
• Intrauterine devices (IUDs): A long-term option that can be hormonal or copper-based, ideal for those who want a method without daily maintenance.
• Barrier methods: Such as condoms or diaphragms, which block sperm from reaching the egg.
• Permanent methods: Such as tubal ligation, for those who no longer wish to have children in the future.

Personalized Advice to Choose the Best Contraceptive Method

Choosing the right contraceptive method depends on several factors: your age, general health, whether or not you have had children, and even your personal preferences. At our clinic in Barcelona, we offer a complete consultation to evaluate:

• Your current needs: Are you looking for a temporary or permanent method? Do you prefer a hormone-free method?
• Your lifestyle: Some methods require a daily routine, while others are more convenient for long-term use.
• Possible contraindications: We review your medical history to rule out any method that may not be suitable for you, ensuring your safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Contraceptive Methods

What is the most effective contraceptive method?

The most effective methods are hormonal contraceptives and IUDs, which offer protection close to 99%. However, their effectiveness also depends on proper and consistent use.

What happens if I don’t tolerate the contraceptive I chose?

If you experience side effects or feel uncomfortable with the chosen method, we can explore other options. It’s important to find a method that makes you feel safe and comfortable in the long term.

How often should I check my contraceptive?

It depends on the method. If you use an IUD, we recommend an annual check-up to ensure it is in the correct position. Hormonal contraceptives require periodic visits to monitor your health and make adjustments if necessary.
