There are barrier methods (such as condoms, female condoms, and diaphragms), hormonal preparations (pills, vaginal rings, injections, implants), intrauterine devices (medicated IUDs, e.g., Mirena, non-medicated copper IUDs), and sterilization (tubal ligation).

In our clinic, we can insert a medicated intrauterine device at the patient’s request, which on one hand prevents pregnancy, and on the other hand reduces or prevents both menstrual bleeding and menstrual pain.

Sterilization represents a permanent form of contraception, which is mostly performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. During the procedure, we either cauterize part of the fallopian tubes or remove both fallopian tubes.
