Finding the right contraceptive is an important decision for every woman and this decision is made easier if you consult a gynaecologist, who will help you decide based on your individual needs and wishes.

The selection of contraceptives that you can pick and choose from based on your needs, is large. There are both short- and long-acting contraceptives and you can choose either hormonal or hormone-free options. 

Short-acting options are condoms, pills, vaginal rings, hormonal patches, and contraceptive injections. 

Long-acting contraceptives provide effective contraception for 3 to 5 years, depending on the device. Long-acting contraceptives include copper-containing IUDs and hormone IUDs inserted into the uterine cavity, and implants placed under the skin on the inside of the upper arm.
