Family Planning and Contraception

With a patient-centric approach, Dr. Rashmi Gupta provides comprehensive family planning services to help women make informed decisions about pregnancy spacing, contraception, and reproductive health. Her counselling is confidential, customised, and based on medical suitability.

What It Is

Family planning involves choosing appropriate methods to prevent pregnancy or plan conception. Contraception includes temporary or long-term options that help women control their fertility safely.

Procedure

The procedure begins with a detailed assessment of medical history, menstrual patterns, hormonal health, and the patient’s family planning goals. Dr. Gupta explains various contraceptive options—such as oral pills, injections, IUDs, copper-T, hormonal devices, or barrier methods—and helps select the method most appropriate for the patient. If an intrauterine device is chosen, safe insertion is performed in a sterile, controlled setting.

Treatment / Management

Management includes follow-up visits to ensure the chosen contraceptive method is functioning well without side effects. Dr. Gupta addresses issues like irregular bleeding, discomfort, or hormonal changes, and adjusts the method if needed. She also provides treatment for infections or complications that may arise from improper or unsafe contraceptive use. Counselling is given on how to safely plan pregnancy after stopping contraception.
