What Contraception Options Are Available?

The right contraception for you should support your reproductive health and well-being as well as your family planning goals. Your needs will likely change throughout your lifetime, which is why our providers are here to discuss several birth control methods with you like:

  • Hormonal Birth Control
    Hormonal birth control methods, such as the pill, patch, or ring, use hormones to prevent pregnancy by regulating your menstrual cycle and ovulation.
  • Long-Term Birth Control
    Long-term options, like IUDs and implants, offer reliable pregnancy protection for several years at a time without the need for daily maintenance. There are both hormonal and non-hormonal options for this method.
  • Permanent Birth Control
    If you're certain that you've completed your family or that you do not want children, permanent solutions like tubal ligation can provide a long-lasting option for pregnancy prevention.

Talk to Your Provider About Postpartum Birth Control

After giving birth, you'll need information about contraception options. Ideally, you should wait at least 18 months before trying to become pregnant again to allow your body time to heal. You may need to space pregnancies even further depending on your unique family and medical situation.

Your UWH of Texas healthcare provider will guide you through safe contraception options personalized to your needs. We'll take into consideration your medical history and any other factors that may impact your choices over time.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

The staff was able to work me into the schedule. Dr. Holloway listened intently to my concerns and provided great advice.

Review for Kathryn Holloway, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Great appointment except for the wait time. It took over 20 minutes past my appointment time to be called back. However, the NP was very apologetic.

Review for Jennifer Barbosa, WHNP-BC

Annual Well Woman Exam

I have been a patient of Dr. Karsan for over 20 years and appreciate the care I receive.

Review for Damla Karsan, MD

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Arévalo was great, but I had to wait over 30 minutes past my appointment time, and no one even said anything to me until I went up and asked. Apparently the doctor was called to a delivery, which is fine, but could they have just told me updates? I would’ve appreciated that.

Review for Michelle Arevalo, MD

Pap Smear

Love Dr. Simpson but the over an hour wait before getting into a room was a little long. The new location is certainly not convenient but I like her so much, I’ll keep seeing her there.

Review for Cristina Simpson, MD

Office Visit / Follow-up

Doctor and staff friendly, caring, and professional. However the wait time is horrible. It was 2 hours. 1 1/2 before I even got back to the room. This is not the first time.
