At Saige Health we strongly believe in preventative health care and personal choice. When it comes to contraception, everybody is different in what works for them and it doesn’t need to just come down to types of hormones. Our doctors at Saige are available to provide tailored solutions including short acting options, long acting reversible options, and permanent options.
- Contraceptive Pill, also known as ‘the pill,’ or ‘COCP’ is a daily oral contraceptive containing both estrogen and progesterone to prevent pregnancy.
- Implanon is a discreet, small plastic rod inserted beneath the skin of the upper arm, releasing contraceptive hormones over a span of three years.
- We provide comprehensive services including counselling, insertion, removal, and ongoing support for Implanon users, including the management of any side effects such as irregular bleeding.
- Contraceptive Injection (Depo) is a hormonal shot administered every three months to prevent pregnancy.
- Vaginal Ring is a flexible plastic ring inserted high into the vagina, delivering contraceptive hormones similarly to the pill.
- Progesterone-Only Pill is a daily tablet containing progestogen, offering a reliable method of contraception.
- An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small device placed inside the uterus (womb) to prevent pregnancy and can offer contraceptive benefits from 8-10 years. It comes in two varieties:
- Hormonal IUD (Mirena & Kyleena)
- Copper IUD
We provide comprehensive guidance, including information, advice, insertion, and ongoing management for both hormonal (Mirena & Kyleena) and non-hormonal (copper) options.
We can offer Methoxyflurane (green whistle) for pain relief in the rooms or to arrange the procedure under an anaesthetic.
