Here are some tips on types of contraceptive methods

Hi I’m Dr. Soni Anand. I’m a consultant obstetrician-gynecologist and infertility expert. This is a very controversial topic and everyone wants to use something but they don’t know what to use, how to use and for how long to use and whether it is suitable for him and his partner, or not. There are basically 4 modalities of Contraception:

(a) Intra-Urine contraception device also known as Copper T, Multi load, Mirena etc. I think this is the most comfortable for the patient and it is usually applied on the 4th or 5th day of periods and if properly applied, there is no problem in the continuation of these devices. Usually in few patients you can have periods for a cycle or two but then it settles down. We have medication for that and second thing- you have to get a checkup, every 4-5 month intervals at your doctor, and I think this is the best method because it does not require every day motivation and has no hormonal side effects.

(b) Pills or OC Pills, there is a common myth that it causes weight gain but now a days like everything, the Pill has also evolved and now we have ultra-low dosage pills and they get the desired effect and prevents pregnancy but does not have a long term side effect which existed when there were high doses. And you have to start the pill on Day 1 and continue it for 21 days and then there is a pill free period where you’ll have your periods and then can again restart from Day 1 and it can be used under medical supervision as long as you want.

(c) Condoms, it is not a very reliable method because it is partner dependent and can be used as a spacing method if they are willing.

(d) The terminal method of contraception, i.e. the family planning surgery or tuber ligation. It is suggested to those patients who have completed their families and can opt for this permanent method.
My message to my viewers is that contraception is a confusing matter and if you can’t decide yourself, consult a doctor.

If you want to consult me, you can reach me through Lybrate. Either by a text or through telephone or you can book a physical appointment.
 

Hi, I am Dr Soni Anand. I’m a consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician. Today, I am going to tell few things about infertility. Infertility is the very common thing nowadays. I think out of four one couple is facing the problem of infertility. This is because people are getting married at a later age nowadays. Earlier people used to get married in their early twenties and now people are getting married in their late twenties and thirties that’s why we see a lot of cases of infertility nowadays.

The most common arising cause of infertility nowadays is male infertility. Male infertility was not there earlier and is mostly because of the change in lifestyle. The practice of keeping mobile phones in the lower back pockets, tight clothing’s, diet and the toxins present in the products we use lead to such things. There are female factors too;

• Firstly, either there is an ovulatory problem
• secondly either the tubes could be blocked.
• Thirdly there are some hormonal disturbances which interfere with the implantation of the pregnancy.

These are the most common things and there are many ways to treat them. You should not delay in consulting a doctor. We have got treatment for every modality. It takes time, but I think for 90% of the patients something or other could be done. There is hope, so don’t sit at home and please consult a doctor.

For any query in infertility, either male or female or unknown, or anything as such, you can connect with me through lybrate for either a text consultation or telephonic consultation or a physical consultation at my clinic.
