Contraception

At Advanced Gynecology of Reno, we understand that choosing the right contraceptive method is a personal decision that depends on your health, lifestyle, and family planning goals. Our expert providers are here to guide you through your options, ensuring you find the solution that best fits your needs. Below are the types of contraception we offer:

Oral contraception is a safe, convenient, and effective method for preventing pregnancy. These daily pills contain hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle and prevent ovulation. We provide personalized consultations to help you choose the pill that aligns with your hormonal balance and health needs.

An IUD is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Depending on your preference, we offer both hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs:

• Hormonal IUDs:
  • Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla – These IUDs release a small amount of progestin to prevent pregnancy, reduce menstrual bleeding, and may alleviate cramps.
• Non-Hormonal IUD:
  • Paragard – A hormone-free option that uses copper to create a sperm-repellent environment. It’s an excellent choice for those who prefer a natural alternative.

The Nexplanon implant is a small, flexible rod inserted under the skin of your upper arm. It releases progestin to provide up to three years of reliable pregnancy prevention. This discreet option requires no daily attention and can be removed anytime you choose.

For those who prefer birth control methods requiring less commitment, we offer:

NuvaRing

The NuvaRing is a flexible, vaginal ring inserted once a month, releasing hormones to prevent pregnancy. It’s simple to use and allows for a more predictable cycle.

Depo-Provera (The Shot)

The Depo shot is an injectable contraceptive given every three months. It’s an excellent choice for those who prefer not to think about daily or monthly methods.

For individuals who are certain they do not want future pregnancies, permanent options are available. These methods are designed to provide peace of mind with lifelong protection.

A salpingectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the fallopian tubes, offering permanent contraception. This method not only prevents pregnancy but may also reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. Our skilled providers ensure you are fully informed and supported throughout the decision and procedure.
