Helping You Make Confident Choices About Parenthood

At Butterfly Hospitals, we understand that deciding when—or whether—to have children is one of the most personal decisions a couple can make. Whether you're looking to space out pregnancies, delay parenthood, or choose a permanent solution, our dedicated team is here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and care.

We provide a wide range of family planning and contraception options tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. Our specialists offer both medical and emotional support, helping you understand your choices and make informed decisions that align with your goals.

Your Choices, Our Support

Contraceptive Counseling

Not sure what method is right for you? Our experienced gynecologists walk you through all available options—explaining how they work, how effective they are, and what might suit your body and preferences best. We believe every patient deserves personalized care and full knowledge of their reproductive choices.

1. Contraceptive Options We Offer

Condoms (Male & Female): A simple, widely available method that helps prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Diaphragm & Cervical Cap: Placed inside the vagina before intercourse to block sperm from reaching the egg. Requires a proper fitting and prescription.
Vaginal Sponge: Over-the-counter and easy to use—this sponge contains spermicide and is inserted before intercourse.
Note: While barrier methods are convenient, they are slightly less effective if not used perfectly. Our doctors will guide you on correct usage for maximum protection.

2. Hormonal Methods

These options use hormones to prevent ovulation and create cervical mucus that blocks sperm. Most require a prescription.
Birth Control Pills (daily): Available in combined (estrogen + progestin) or progestin-only options.
Injections (Depo-Provera): Given once every three months.
Implants: Small rods inserted under the skin that release hormones steadily.
Patches & Vaginal Rings (NuvaRing): Easy-to-use options that continuously release hormones through the skin or vaginal lining.

3. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

A long-term but reversible method. A small device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Some IUDs release hormones, while others use copper.
Effective for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type.
Can be inserted anytime after consultation.
Hormonal IUDs can also help reduce heavy periods or painful cramps.

4. Emergency Contraception

Sometimes called the “morning-after pill,” this option can be used within 3 to 5 days of unprotected intercourse. It’s available without a prescription and can help prevent unintended pregnancies in emergencies.

Permanent Birth Control

For couples who are certain they no longer wish to have children, permanent options are available:
Tubal Ligation (For Women): A minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to block or seal the fallopian tubes.
Vasectomy (For Men): A simple outpatient procedure to block sperm from reaching semen.
These methods are considered permanent, but in rare cases, reversal may be possible—with no guaranteed success.

Risks & Considerations

Every method of birth control has its own benefits and potential side effects:

Condoms: Effective and protective against STIs, but may slip or tear if used incorrectly.
Hormonal methods: May cause mild side effects like nausea, mood changes, or weight fluctuations. Serious risks are rare and can be managed with guidance.
Diaphragms/Caps: May lead to infections if not fitted correctly or used for extended periods.
IUDs: Usually well-tolerated but may cause cramps or spotting initially.
Our team will ensure you understand these risks and help you choose what feels safest and most comfortable for you.
