Contraception and family planning in Vigo

There is no single ideal contraceptive: the best one suits your health, your preferences and your stage of life. We help you choose with clear information.

Personalised advice

  • We review your medical history to rule out contraindications.
  • We explain the pros and cons of each option.
  • We prescribe the method you choose and follow up with you.
  • If you are not happy with your current method, we look at alternatives.

Methods we discuss

The options available include:

  • The combined or progestogen-only pill.
  • The patch and the vaginal ring.
  • Copper and hormonal IUDs (coils).
  • The contraceptive implant.
  • Barrier methods such as condoms — the only option that also protects against sexually transmitted infections.

At every stage of life

Needs change over time: when you first become sexually active, after a pregnancy, while breastfeeding or during perimenopause. We review with you whether your method is still the best fit.
