Birth Control in Miami

Choosing the birth control option that is right for you is a very personal and unique experience. No one option will work for every woman, so it is crucial that you thoroughly explore your options and do some research. We know that all the different routes may seem overwhelming at first, so our team at Dr. Susan Fox’s Center for Women is here to provide some much-needed guidance in selecting the right Birth Control in Miami.

Many women are unaware that there even are other birth control options outside of traditional condoms or birth control pills. However, there is a whole world of possibilities nowadays thanks to advancements in medicine and technology. There is nothing wrong with sticking to either condoms or contraceptive pills, but some women have a clear view of how they would like their futures to pan out and want to have a more secure, long-term option.

Intrauterine Device Birth Control Implant

This is where the IUD implant comes into play. IUDs, or Intrauterine Devices, are a convenient and secure option in the world of birth control. If you are unaware of the term and practice, a small device made of flexible plastic is utilized to prevent the fertilization of eggs in the uterus. Depending on the type of IUD you opt for, the time frame in which the IUD will prevent pregnancy can vary. However, as long as it is in place, the results are long-lasting and are completely reversible for when you do decide you would like to try to become pregnant, or simply choose to just remove the implant.

We offer different forms of IUDs and Paragard, Skyla, Liletta, and Mirena are amongst the Best IUD Brands. These T shaped devices are inserted and removed by our medical professionals at Dr. Susan Fox’s Center for Women. We have worked with the technology for years and are thoroughly knowledgeable of the pros and cons surrounding each IUD, regardless of the brand selected.

Most Popular IUD Implant Brands

One of our most popular IUD options is Paragard. This IUD utilizes an intrauterine device that releases copper from its wire, which wraps around the base and helps prevent fertility by setting off an inflammatory reaction in the uterus. Paragard does not contain hormones as some types of IUD do. This device is tiny, measuring in at a mere 1.26” x 1.42”. Its flexibility and size make it simple for our experts to insert and remove when requested. Once it is inserted, you shouldn’t feel it at all.

If Paragard doesn’t quite meet what you are searching for in an IUD, we carry other brands as well. While Paragard is effective for up to 10 years and may represent the right option for women who want long-term solutions, there are others that cut that period of time in half. Mirena is effective for up to 5 years and is recommended by our team to women who have had children previously. It has been FDA approved in the United States since 2000, proving to be highly effective through the use of the levonorgestrel hormone. Our professionals can insert Mirena quickly and easily, with minimal to no discomfort.
