Contraception, Birth Control and Family Planning
Oral Birth control pills and other hormonal contraceptives can help lighten your menstrual flow and lessen the pain and cramping felt during your monthly period. They may also prevent or protect against many other conditions, including:
Endometrial and ovarian cancers
- Anemia
- Acne
- PMS symptoms
- Excess body hair
Since FPA’s abortion clinics serving East Chicago, IN offer many different types of contraceptives, it is important to see a doctor to talk about your options. ‘The Pill’ or birth control pills may not be the ideal choice for some women, especially if you have a busy lifestyle. While it does prevent pregnancy when taken daily at the same time, the pill does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections or diseases (STIs or STDs), and some women may experience more side effects than others. Side effects may include bleeding or spotting between periods, breast tenderness, nausea, and/or decreased sex drive. Family Planning Associate’s physicians, nurse practitioners and physicians assistants can help you decide which contraceptive method will best fit your unique needs.
