Contraceptives

Introduction

Before choosing a treatment, you’ll need to complete a short online consultation. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective option for your condition.

Contraceptives Treatment

The contraceptive pill is a form of birth control used by women at risk of unwanted pregnancies. The combined pill can also be used by those who need contraception but suffer symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and acne. It is also referred to as “the pill”.

Birth control pills are also known as oral contraceptives since they are taken by mouth to prevent unwanted pregnancy. In general, these are effective methods of contraception. However, they can also cause unwanted side effects in some people, so finding one that works best for you can be a process of trial and error.

What Are Contraceptive Pills?

How Does the Contraceptive Pill Work?

Contraceptive pills use synthetic (man-made) hormones involved in pregnancy to disrupt the release of eggs from the ovaries (ovulation). This prevents sperm from reaching eggs and fertilising them, ultimately preventing pregnancies.

Additionally, the pill can cause the mucus in the womb to thicken, which can impede the passage of sperm. This further reduces the chances of sperm reaching the egg and fertilizing it. Finally, they can also thin the womb’s lining, which makes it less likely that a fertilized egg will implant into the womb and grow.

What Is the Most Common Contraceptive Pill?

The most commonly prescribed combined or mini-pills in the UK are dependent on your location. However, the most common ones are:

Rigevidon
Ovranette
Microgynon
Yasmin
Cilest
Loestrin
Mercilon
