About Family Planning

Family planning, managed by an Obstetrics and Gynaecologist, is a comprehensive medical service focused on helping individuals and couples achieve their desired family size and spacing of children. It involves expert counseling, education, and the provision of safe, effective contraceptive methods tailored to a person's health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals. This includes discussing and prescribing options like birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, injections, and permanent sterilization procedures such as tubal ligation or vasectomy referrals. The specialist ensures informed choice, manages any side effects, and provides follow-up care, empowering patients to make confident decisions about their reproductive health and future.
