World Contraception Day – Make sure you take control over your reproductive health

VOICE AIR MEDIA

On World Contraception Day [26 September], the Public Health Agency (PHA) is reminding people how and where you can find out about contraception that works for you.

Dr Rachel Coyle, Consultant at the PHA, said:

“There are lots of different types of contraception from condoms, to pills that you take every day, to things like the contraceptive implant or contraceptive coil that can last for several years.

Using contraception allows women and young people to have control over their fertility, their body.”

Details on local sexual and reproductive health clinics can be found at www.sexualhealthni.info/contraception

Dr Coyle said “Different types of contraception work for different people at different times of their lives. The most effective reversible contraceptives we have are the contraceptive implant and contraceptive coil.

 

“It’s also important to remember that although contraceptive pills, implants and coils prevent unplanned pregnancies, they don’t protect against STIs, so condoms are still important especially with new sexual partners.”
