Best OBGYN helps with birth control

Best OBGYN provides many services to Atlanta and Alpharetta, GA women, including birth control management. Women use birth control for many reasons, beyond just preventing unplanned pregnancies. Some women experience very painful periods, with heavy bleeding and severe cramping. Other women may have issues with periods that are irregular, lasting too long, and occurring sporadically.

Birth control may be prescribed by your best OBGYN to help regulate these issues. Birth control can be used to help alleviate pain during menstruation and regulate women’s cycles.

The types of birth control

There are multiple types of birth control, each with its own benefits and things to keep in mind. Your doctor will be able to discuss the different birth control options available to you and help you choose the right one for you.

Birth control options available to you include:

• The pill. This is perhaps the most well-known birth control option. It involves taking a pill each day, with one week of the month being a sugar pill, which will kickstart your period. Your OBGYN will discuss its effective rate, things to watch for, and the importance of taking it at the same time each day if you select this option.
• IUDs are becoming a more popular birth control method. This involves your OBGYN inserting a T-shaped device inside the uterus. Depending on the type of IUD you have, this form of birth control can last three to six years. Your OBGYN will be able to advise how long you can go before you should get your IUD replaced.
• This involves a small rod being inserted under the skin of a women’s upper arm and releases a hormone to prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg. Birth control implants can prevent pregnancy for up to four years.
• Your OBGYN may also discuss using an injection as birth control. This injects the hormone progestin into your system, preventing pregnancies for three months.

It is important to note, that no birth control is 100 percent effective and it does not protect against STDs and STIs. Your OBGYN can offer advice on additional measures you can take to prevent pregnancies and practice safe sex.
