Many women use contraception methods to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce painful periods, manage hormonal imbalances, and even address certain health conditions like endometriosis.

The birth control pill is one of the most widely used and trusted contraception methods available today. Taken daily, the pill works by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus, reducing the likelihood of pregnancy. It’s a popular choice for its simplicity and effectiveness, with additional benefits like regulating menstrual cycles, reducing acne, and alleviating PMS symptoms. For maximum effectiveness, it’s important to take it consistently and as directed.
At Women’s Health Associates Group, we’ll help you navigate the various types of pills, including combination pills and progestin-only options, to find the one that suits your health and goals.
The birth control patch is a convenient alternative to daily pills. Worn on the skin and replaced weekly, the patch releases hormones that prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus to reduce the chances of pregnancy. Many women appreciate the patch for its ease of use and reliability.
The patch is discreet, waterproof, and works well for women who prefer a method they don’t have to think about every day. At Women’s Health Associates Group, we’ll guide you through the pros and cons of the patch, considering your medical history and personal preferences, to help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
The vaginal ring is a flexible, hormone-releasing device that you insert once a month. This method works by preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to reduce the chances of pregnancy. It’s a great choice for women looking for a simple contraception method that doesn’t require daily attention.
At Women’s Health Associates Group, we provide education and support to help you use the ring effectively and comfortably. Whether you’re starting contraception for the first time or exploring alternatives to your current method, our team is here to answer your questions and provide expert care.
Contraceptive shots are a long-lasting, reversible way of preventing pregnancy. The shot contains progestin, which prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus. Administered every three months, the shot is a great option for women who want a method that’s both low-maintenance and effective.
IUDs offer long-term, highly effective pregnancy prevention. These small, T-shaped devices are placed in the uterus by your gynecologist and can remain in place for several years, depending on the type you choose. Hormonal IUDs release progestin to prevent ovulation, while non-hormonal options rely on copper to create an environment that’s inhospitable to sperm.
At Women’s Health Associates Group, we specialize in IUD insertion and removal. Whether you’re looking for a highly effective but reversible way of preventing pregnancy or a method that requires less maintenance, the IUD might be the perfect choice for you.
