There is no single contraception method that’s right for everyone. The best choice depends on your age, medical history, period symptoms, lifestyle, plans for future pregnancy and personal preferences. Contraception can also do more than prevent pregnancy: some methods reduce bleeding, ease period pain, improve acne, or help manage endometriosis and adenomyosis.

A pelvic exam is a clinical examination of the female reproductive organs to assess gynecological health, investigate symptoms, and support diagnosis or treatment.
