• Combined oral contraceptive – “The pill”

• Progesterone only – “The minipill”

• Long-acting progesterone injection

• Implanon – “The rod”

• Progesterone IUD – Mirena or Kyleena

Non-Hormonal

• Copper IUD

• Condoms

• Diaphragm

There are many circumstances where one particular option is most appropriate and some situations where particular contraceptives should be avoided. Book an appointment to find out the options which might best suit you in your current circumstances.

Menopause can be liberating for many women but difficult for others. Hot flushes are not the only symptom which can be improved with treatment and there are both hormonal and non-hormonal options which may be suitable.

A good and healthy body is the reason behind a healthy mind
