Contraception

Contraception is important to prevent unintended pregnancies, abortions and HIV transmissions. It facilitates family planning and spacing of births. Dr. Mustafa Aldam offers a range of contraception Dubai, including IUD insertion Dubai and IUD removal Dubai, providing women with effective and personalized solutions for family planning.

What is Contraception?

Contraception can be a method or device used to prevent pregnancy. Names like birth control, anticonception, or fertility control also know it.

Types of Contraception Dubai

There are different types of contraception Dubai as per the need and suitability. Choosing the most appropriate method would depend on factors like age, overall health, desire to have a child later, frequency of intercourse, number of partners, and family medical history.

Sterilization

Emergency Contraception
This contraception method is used after unprotected intercourse, or if a condom breaks, to prevent a probable pregnancy. There are two ways to do it.

Copper IUD – It is a very effective method of emergency contraception. A copper device can be inserted within 120 hours of unprotected sexual activity to prevent pregnancy.

Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) – Some hormonal pills, if taken as a single dose or two doses 12 hours apart, can be used after unprotected intercourse.

Barrier Methods

Hormonal Methods
In this method, hormones regulate or stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy. There are various ways to introduce hormones into the body, like pills, injections, skin patches, transdermal gels, vaginal rings, intrauterine systems, and implantable rods.

This contraception prevents ovulation by blocking sperm from reaching the egg or thickening cervical mucus. Hormonal Contraceptive Methods in Dubai:

Combined estrogen and progesterone (Oral, Transdermal, vaginal)

Progesterone only (Oral, Injectable, implantable, intrauterine)

Combined estrogen and progesterone

Long Acting Reversible Contraception

Commonly known as an intrauterine system (IUS). A health care provider inserts a small, T-shaped intrauterine device (IUD) into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. An IUD stays in place and works effectively for recommended years. IUD devices can be removed when a woman no longer requires contraception.

Types of Intra-Uterine Devices(IUD)

Different factors may influence it when it is difficult for a couple to conceive. IUI is often used by couples who have:

Copper-T IUD

Women prefer Copper-T IUDs at low risk of STIs and monogamous women. The copper IUD is a small, T-shaped device made of plastic and copper. It constantly releases small amounts of copper into the uterus.

Hormonal or Mirena IUD

Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (Mirena) is safe and effective for 5 years. It is a small, T-shaped, plastic device that slowly releases progestogen hormone into your uterus. It is the same hormone produced by the ovaries. The device has a fine nylon thread attached, which drops down through the cervix.

Benefits of IUDs

No maintenance - Once inserted, it does not require any maintenance.

Effective - Both copper and hormonal IUDs are more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Easier periods - An option for those who suffer from heavy and difficult periods.

Long lasting - The instruments work for 3 up to 12 years. Mirena can last 5 years, and the copper IUD lasts 10 years.

Reversible - Easy to remove when you wish to get pregnant, and you can start to try conceiving right away.

Patient satisfaction - Women do not feel any discomfort. No medications stop them from working.

IUD Insertion Dubai

An expert physician inserts the IUD by holding the slider firmly at the top of the handle and gently placing the inserter into the cervical canal. Some doctors believe that a woman’s menstrual period is the best time for inserting an IUD, as the cervix is dilated at that time. IUD insertion Dubai is also performed to help reduce severe menstrual pain and problems related to the abnormal growth of uterine-lining tissue.

IUD Removal Dubai

The IUD removal process is quick and simple, just the reverse of insertion. If you are looking for IUD removal Dubai, a healthcare provider tenderly pulls on the string to fold the arms of the device, and it slips out easily. Some women feel a cramp for that moment but feel normal in a few minutes.
