The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends periodic visits for reproductive and well-woman care. A well-woman visit on an annual basis provides an opportunity for women to receive screenings evaluation treatment and immunizations thereby reducing health risks.

The exact nature of each visit may vary based on a woman’s age, risk factors, preexisting conditions, and reproductive desires. Some parts of the visit may be indicated at differing intervals. For example, current recommendations may increase the interval between cervical cancer screenings ( Pap smear testing ) to 3 years in certain patients. A discussion with your doctor will determine what tests are indicated at your examination. For women experiencing symptoms seeing a woman’s health professional sooner avoids delaying diagnosis and treatment.

This reduces the likelihood of prolonged illness and complications. We, therefore, make every effort to schedule appointments at your earliest convenience. For more urgent concerns the same day or call-ahead appointments may be available.

Today’s woman has several contraceptive options available. The choice of a birth control method is dictated by medical history and personal preference. We provide all currently available forms of birth control including pills, the vaginal ring, the patch, injection, intrauterine devices, subdermal implants, and the diaphragm.

Oral contraceptives are the most popular reversible method in the United States. Most commonly They consist of a combination of hormones known as progestins and estrogen. They prevent ovulation and this is their main method of preventing pregnancy. They also work by thickening cervical mucus and rendering the lining of the uterus less hospitable for implantation of the fertilized egg. Certain medical conditions and habits such as smoking may impact your ability to use pills. As such a complete history and examination prior to starting oral contraceptives may be a good idea. Pills are usually taken on a daily basis. In most formulations, The hormones combined with a placebo will allow menstruation on a monthly basis. Other formulations may extend the interval between periods for as long as 90 days. There are numerous brand names and generic formulations so your doctor can help in guiding your choice.

The vaginal ring and the transdermal patch also contain estrogen and progestin and therefore have side effects similar to oral contraceptives. The ring is inserted into the vagina for three weeks and is left out on the fourth week of the month allowing menstruation.

The patch is placed on the skin on a weekly basis and is left off on the fourth week also allowing menstruation.
Subdermal implant contraception ( Nexplanon ) is placed under the skin of the forearm with local anesthesia in a short office visit. It works by slowly releasing a long-acting progestin throughout the body. This hormone acts to inhibit ovulation thicken cervical mucus and change the lining of the uterus. Menstruation may be reduced or even stopped. It is replaced every 3 years.

A variety of Intrauterine devices IUDs are now available. IUDs are inserted into the uterus and can remain for up to 10 years. This is done in a 5-minute office visit and no anesthesia is required. One category of IUDs is impregnated with hormones that act on the lining of the uterus and do not go throughout the body. The other type has a copper base material which provokes a reaction that prevents the survival of sperm.

Barrier methods such as diaphragms and cervical caps are now used less often but are still available. You will need to be fitted by your doctor for proper use.

We are committed to providing you with all the resources you need in making this important and very personal choice.

  • Hormonal Birth Control

    Hormonal methods include pills, injections, rings, implants, and patches. The type of method you choose should be one that you are comfortable with and suits your lifestyle. With most hormonal methods, a woman takes hormones that prevent ovulation which prevents an egg from being produced; therefore a pregnancy can not occur. Hormonal methods are used primarily to prevent pregnancies and do not protect against STDs.

  • Injections

    The progestin injection provides protection against pregnancy for 3 months, which means 4 injections are needed in a year.

  • Ring

    The ring is placed in the upper vagina and releases estrogen and progestin continuously. It is worn for 21 days and removed for 7 days for menstruation to occur.

  • The Patch

    An adhesive patch, which releases estrogen and progestin, is placed directly on the skin. 1 patch lasts 1 week and is used for 3 weeks and removed on the 4th week for menstruation to occur.

  • IUD

    A small plastic or metal device is inserted into the uterus. It stops the egg from fertilizing and can remain in the body for 10 years.
