Dr. Sushma Bhadauria is an obstetrician and gynecologist who is experienced at helping women select the proper method of contraception for them in her Los Angeles office. She understands that the choice of contraception is a personal matter that can affect the health and well-being of each woman. She completed her residency at UCLA and worked at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and with Cedars Sinai Medical Group before starting her private practice.
Many methods of contraception are available that don’t require a trip to the doctor. With fertility awareness, you can plan your sexual activity around your menstrual cycle and try to avoid having unprotected sex on those days. Male condoms, female condoms, and vaginal spermicides are options that are available at pharmacies without a prescription.
The problem is that these methods of birth control don’t always work. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 49 percent of pregnancies in 2011 were unplanned! The failure rate for male condoms is 18 percent, and you have a 24 percent chance of unintentionally getting pregnant if you’re sexually active and depending on awareness of your menstrual cycle.
Hormonal contraceptives work by providing hormones that mimic pregnancy. This interferes with ovulation and reduces the chance of fertilization. These contraceptives contain the hormone progestin and may also have estrogen. Options include the following.
Hormonal contraceptives can lead to side effects, such as nausea and spotting, in some women. Other birth control options are available that do not involve hormones.
