When to consult a doctor for contraception?
If you are starting or restarting contraception
See a doctor if you are using birth control for the first time, or if you are considering contraception after pregnancy or miscarriage, to ensure the method suits your body and health goals.
If you are experiencing side effects or concerns
Consult a medical practitioner if your current contraception is causing side effects, or if you have questions or worries about how a particular method may affect your health.
If you are considering changing your birth control method
Medical advice is important when switching contraception methods to avoid complications and choose an option that best aligns with your lifestyle and reproductive needs.
