Common questions about Birth control choices
What birth control options can I discuss at MedHaven Health?
Our providers explain contraceptive choices such as pills, patches, injections, implants, and IUDs, and help identify options appropriate for your health and preferences.
Which birth control methods are long acting?
IUDs and contraceptive implants provide long-acting reversible contraception. The best option depends on your health, preferences, and pregnancy plans.
Does hormonal birth control protect against STIs?
Clinical reference: CDC: Contraception.
No. Hormonal methods and IUDs do not protect against sexually transmitted infections; condoms can lower STI transmission risk. We also provide IUD services and STI testing. Our providers discuss all contraceptive options — pills, patches, rings, injections, IUDs — and help you choose the best method for your health, lifestyle, and family planning goals.
Birth Control Counseling in Glen Burnie
Choosing the right birth control method is a personal decision that depends on your health history, lifestyle, reproductive goals, and comfort level. At MedHaven Health, our providers take the time to explain every option, answer your questions, and help you make an informed choice.
We offer contraceptive counseling as part of routine well-woman exams or as a standalone visit. Our goal is to empower you with the information and support you need to manage your reproductive health confidently.
Contraceptive Options We Offer & Discuss
Our providers prescribe and discuss a wide range of contraceptive methods including oral contraceptive pills (combination and progestin-only), contraceptive patches (applied weekly), vaginal rings (monthly), injectable contraception (such as Depo-Provera), intrauterine devices or IUDs (both hormonal and copper), and referral for contraceptive implant placement when appropriate.
Each method has different benefits, effectiveness rates, and potential side effects. Your provider will review your medical history to help identify the safest and most effective option for you.
Choosing the Best Method for You
During your consultation, your provider will consider your overall health and medical history, your reproductive goals (short-term vs. long-term), any medications you are currently taking, your comfort with daily, weekly, or long-term methods, potential side effects, and your insurance coverage and cost.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to birth control. We are here to help you find the right fit.
Side Effects & Safety
All contraceptive methods have potential side effects. Your provider will thoroughly review what to expect with your chosen method, including common side effects, warning signs that require medical attention, and how to transition between methods if needed. We follow ACOG and CDC guidelines for contraceptive prescribing to ensure your safety.
