Birth Control Q&A

What is birth control?

Birth control, also called contraception, is a collection of methods that prevent you from getting pregnant. There are significant differences between the various methods, and all depend on your ability to use them correctly. The team at Women’s Care of Beverly Hills can teach you about every option and how to use them.

When you discuss your birth control preferences with the team at Women’s Care of Beverly Hills, they ask for details about your lifestyle, your health, and any plans you have of getting pregnant in the future. The team makes recommendations based on the information you give them.

Certain forms of birth control have benefits aside from preventing pregnancy. For example, hormonal birth control techniques can help regulate your periods or control acne. Condoms help prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Information like this might influence your decision too.

How should I choose my birth control?

There’s a lot to consider while selecting a form of birth control for long-term use. It’s not uncommon for people to try a few different types before settling on one they find convenient and effective.
