Contraception

Contraception refers to methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy. It includes a variety of techniques that reduce the likelihood of sperm fertilizing an egg or prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Contraceptive methods are typically used to control the timing of pregnancies, allow people to plan families, and promote sexual health.

If your usual method fails or you need urgent support after unprotected sex, emergency contraception may help prevent pregnancy.
