Contraception counseling is a healthcare service that provides expert guidance to individuals or couples on various contraceptive methods. This service aims to educate and guide them in choosing the most suitable contraception based on their health, lifestyle, and family planning goals. It’s usually offered by gynecologists or other reproductive health specialists like Dr. Seema and her team.

Importance:

Contraception counseling plays a vital role in reproductive health and family planning. It allows individuals to make informed decisions about preventing unintended pregnancies and planning the timing of desired pregnancies. Each contraceptive method comes with its own set of effectiveness, potential side effects, and impact on health. Therefore, personalized advice based on individual health and lifestyle is crucial to select the most suitable method.

Types of Contraception Counseling Services:

• Educational Guidance: This involves providing comprehensive information about various contraceptive methods, their effectiveness, potential side effects, usage, and how they work.
• Personalized Counseling: This involves assessing an individual’s health, lifestyle, and family planning goals to recommend the most suitable contraceptive methods.
• Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups are essential to ensure the chosen method’s effectiveness, manage any side effects, and address any complications.
• Specific Device Counseling: Expert guidance on the usage of specific contraceptive devices such as Copper T and Mirena.

Who needs it

Contraception counseling is beneficial for anyone who is sexually active and wants to prevent pregnancy or control the timing of pregnancy. It is especially important for those with specific health conditions, as some methods of contraception may not be suitable.

When to seek Contraception Counseling:

Contraception counseling can be sought at any time but is particularly helpful before becoming sexually active, when considering starting or changing a contraceptive method, or when planning for pregnancy. Regular updates and counseling should also be part of routine health check-ups. If side effects, complications, or any other issues related to contraceptive use arise, immediately consult with Dr Seema and her team for appropriate medical advice.
