Family Planning & Contraception
Options, benefits, and guidance for choosing the right contraceptive method for your health goals and lifestyle.
Family planning helps you choose when to conceive and which contraceptive method fits your health, age, and future fertility goals. Options range from barrier methods and oral pills to intrauterine devices, injectables, and permanent sterilization.
Hormonal contraceptives can regulate cycles and reduce pain in conditions such as PCOS, but they are not suitable for everyone. Your doctor considers blood pressure, clotting risk, breastfeeding status, and medical history before recommending a method.
If you plan pregnancy within the next year, preconception counselling includes folic acid, vaccination review, and management of conditions like thyroid disease or diabetes. After delivery, contraceptive needs change and should be reassessed at postnatal visits.
At Dr. Sulochana's Hospital, we provide confidential counselling on contraception, spacing between pregnancies, and transition planning when you are ready to conceive.
