Contraception is the indispensable method in gynaecology to not only prevent unintended pregnancy but also plan the timing of your pregnancy as suitable to the needs of the modern couple today.
With so many effective contraceptive methods around, Dr. Neelima Mantri can guide you with the right contraceptive methods to help you make the right choice. But let us first give you brief information about the type of contraception options available today, here.
Types of Contraceptives Methods:
Intra-Uterine Device Insertion & Removal:
Intrauterine device insertion is a simple and effective way to ward off unintended pregnancy for women. Shaped like ‘T’, slightly bigger than one rupee coin the IUD placed inside the uterus during a normal visit can stop the sperm from reaching the vagina effectively. The IUD is so perfectly placed inside the uterus that women do not have to think about it and her partner wouldn’t be able to feel anything too. Benefits of IUD include:
- Last long, typically based on the brand, lasts anywhere between 3 to 10 years.
- Simple and hassle-free application.
- Safe to use while breastfeeding and a one-time investment.
Using an Intra-Uterine Device does not impact your ability to get pregnant later on. In case a woman wants to get pregnant, her cycle returns to normal as soon as the device is removed and you are free to have children.
Contraceptive pills:
The most common and most popular among all the contraceptive options is ‘The Pill’. The contraceptive pill is filled with manmade hormones that prevent a woman’s body from ovulating and stimulating other factors that make the sperm difficult to enter the uterus. Then other types of pills reduce the number of menstrual cycles per year to stop ovulation. Many different types of pills work in different ways but give out the same result effectively. Not sure about contraceptive pills, Dr. Neelima Mantri can help you pick the right choice according to your requirements
Tubal Ligation:
Tubal ligation is one of the most conservative methods that is used by Indian women. It is a surgical process where the fallopian tubes are tied to prevent eggs from traveling to uterus from ovaries. So when the sperm reaches the uterus there is no chance of conception happening. The fact that it is one of the most conservation family planning procedures around must say how effective it is.
As Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure, the procedure is performed by Dr Neelima Mantri herself at her clinic in Mumbai. The procedure is performed under aesthesis and the patient won’t be feeling anything during the procedure and she can reach her home in a few hours after the operation. For women who wish to have children after the procedure, a reverse tubal ligation is an option. However, the effectiveness of tubal ligation depends on many other factors.
In addition to the above three options, Dr. Neelima Mantri also offers Injections & Intradermal Devices as contraceptive options to the couple who wish to stop unintended pregnancy or plan the timing of their pregnancy effectively.
