Contraception in Dubai

Sterilization is a permanent way to stop birth control. Sterilization can work in two ways: preventing a woman from getting pregnant or a man from releasing sperm.

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. 

 This method uses any physical barrier to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. These barriers are worn and removed by users themselves. Barrier contraceptives are male condoms, female condoms, contraceptive sponges, and spermicides. 

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:

• Combined estrogen and progesterone (Oral, Transdermal, vaginal)
• Progesterone only (Oral, Injectable, implantable, intrauterine)
• Combined estrogen and progesterone

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.
