Contraception

Contraception allows individuals and couples to plan if and when they wish to become pregnant. A wide range of safe and effective options are available, including long-acting reversible contraception such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants, hormonal methods including the oral contraceptive pill, vaginal ring, and injection, as well as barrier methods and permanent contraception.

Dr. Mathias provides personalised contraceptive counselling, taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, reproductive goals, and individual preferences. The benefits, risks, effectiveness, and potential side effects of each option are discussed to help you make an informed decision. She performs IUD insertions and removals and can assist with the management of difficult insertions or removals when required. Contraceptive care may also be used to help manage conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other gynaecological concerns.

The goal is to find a contraceptive option that is safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.
