Family Planning & Contraception in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Family planning means choosing whether and when to have children, using a contraception method that suits your health and plans. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, gynaecologists give confidential advice on temporary methods such as the copper T, contraception after delivery, and permanent options such as tubal ligation.

Choosing the right method

The right method depends on your age, health, whether you are breastfeeding, how soon you may want a baby, and your preferences. Your gynaecologist will take a history, check your blood pressure and help you compare options.

Temporary (reversible) methods

  • Copper T (IUCD): a small device placed in the womb that works for several years and can be removed any time. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: IUCD insertion offered]
  • Hormonal methods: such as oral pills and injectables, prescribed after a check-up.
  • Condoms: the only method that also protects against sexually transmitted infections.
  • Emergency contraception: for use after unprotected sex. Ask a doctor as soon as possible.

Contraception after delivery

Pregnancy can happen again soon after childbirth, even before periods return. Your obstetrician can discuss options before you go home, including a copper T placed after delivery in suitable women. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: post-partum IUCD offered]

Permanent methods

For women who are sure they do not want more children, tubal ligation is a permanent option. Male sterilisation (vasectomy) is a simpler procedure for men. Ask us for a referral. Permanent methods should only be chosen after counselling.

Side effects and safety

Every method has benefits and possible side effects, such as changes in bleeding patterns with some methods. Some hormonal methods are not suitable for women with certain health conditions, which is why a doctor’s check-up matters. Tell your doctor about any medicines you take.
