There are Many Benefits to Family Planning Counseling
Family planning helps protect your well-being in significant ways. It allows you to lead the lifestyle you’ve chosen and live consistently with your values. It can also help you make the choices that are best for your health and goals.
Whether you are starting or extending your family or choosing to delay having children, Dr. Dana can provide advice and solutions to meet your goals. Even if you don’t plan to get pregnant any time soon, you may have concerns about your biological clock or want to check for possible infertility symptoms. A family planning consultation guides you on the medical tests to undergo, supplements to take, and lifestyle changes that support you in making big life changes when you’re ready.
Choosing the Right Birth Control Method for You
While many women today understand that a range of contraceptive methods are available to them, they may not always select a method that best fits their circumstances, leading to misuse, dissatisfaction, or nonuse. This is reflected in the fact that 40% of married women and 61% of unmarried women in the United States change contraceptive methods within a two-year period. The reason for switching methods may also be attributed to women’s evolving needs and underscores that women frequently re-visit this decision.
Contraceptive consultations are key to ensuring safe and effective family planning and contraceptive care. At Love Health, you have a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss your sexual history, past pregnancies, and/or intentions for future pregnancy. Dr. Dana listens to your concerns with patience, welcomes questions, and respects your privacy.
