Contraception

We provide easy access to your best contraceptive. A consultation can be very useful to ascertain which pill, or an IUCD (coil - hormone or copper type), or maybe the implant, or sterilisation, or even natural methods would suit you.

The type of contraception that suits a woman best changes through her life and depends on both her circumstances, any co-existing gynaecological problems, and sometimes her medical history. We fit and check IUCDs in a comfortable environment with the aid of a local anaesthetic and a post procedure scan to ensure correct placement. We can provide the right pill for you, and sort out any issues with side effects.

When your previous contraception has failed, we can see you within 2 days and arrange a termination of pregnancy at the Portland Hospital. We would see you a few weeks later to ensure that you are recovering, both physically and emotionally.
