Sexual Health & Contraception FAQs
The most common Cliterally community questions, answered.
What contraception options are available?
Options broadly include hormonal methods (like the pill, implant or hormonal coil/IUS), non-hormonal methods (like the copper coil/IUD or condoms), and barrier methods, each with different benefits and considerations.
How do I choose the right contraception for me?
Think about factors like your health history, how consistent you want to be with taking or maintaining it, side effects you want to avoid, and whether you also need protection against STIs. A doctor or sexual health clinic can talk through what suits you.
Does contraception protect against STIs?
Only barrier methods like condoms (internal or external) protect against STIs. Other methods prevent pregnancy but not infection, so it's worth using condoms alongside other contraception if that's a concern.
Can I switch contraception methods easily?
In most cases, yes, though it's worth speaking to a doctor or clinic about timing to avoid any gap in protection.
What if I experience side effects on a method?
Side effects are common, especially in the first few months, but persistent or severe symptoms are worth discussing with a doctor, who can help you find an alternative that suits you better.
