Homewood and Birmingham, Alabama patients can seek quality treatment from area gynecologist
Visiting a gynecologist is the best way to seek treatment of a variety of medical concerns with the reproductive system. Women in the areas of Homewood and Birmingham, Alabama often want to learn more about contraception.
What is contraception?
Sometimes called birth control, contraception is a method of preventing pregnancy. Contraception provides for family planning. It reduces the chances of having a baby with sexual intercourse. There are many types of birth control, including:
- Condoms
- The pill
- IUDs (intrauterine devices)
- Patches
- Implants
- Injections
- Sponges
- Spermicides
- Sterilization
There are several methods of contraception available to give women options. Some women just want to prevent conception for a short period, while others want to protect themselves from STDs with new sexual partners. Others may want to be finished with growing their family and are considering permanent methods of contraception such as sterilization. By discussing with our doctor your specific needs, Dr. Tomeka Roberts can help you in making an educated decision.
Which contraception is best?
The best way to avoid conception is to avoid sexual intercourse. However, for loving relationships, intimacy is important. There is no “one size fits all” option. Some types of contraception have higher success rates than others. Some can fail regardless of what is done to prevent pregnancy. Our practice also offers emergency contraception that can be taken soon after intercourse to prevent pregnancy in the event of a misused condom or lack of appropriate contraception at the time of intercourse.
