Birth Control

Birth control or contraception is a crucial aspect of women's reproductive health, as it helps prevent unwanted pregnancies. For women, easy access to birth control is crucial for family planning and for making informed decisions about their reproductive health. 

Accessing birth control through physical clinics can often be taxing, involving lengthy wait times, the need for appointments, travel costs, and more. At Tropical Telemedicine, we provide virtual consultations to discuss and prescribe various birth control options. 

We eliminate the need for in-person visits and ensure you have access to safe and effective contraception from the comfort of your house.

There are many different types of birth control. Various methods, devices, and medications can help avoid unwanted pregnancies.

You can choose your birth control option based on your overall health conditions, your plans to have children, and your need to prevent STIs. At Tropical Telemedicine, we offer personalized video consultations to discuss your preferences and provide tailored suggestions and prescriptions based on your needs.

• Barrier methods: These include birth control methods that block sperm from entering the uterus. It can be a condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap. Barrier methods need to be used each time you have sex.
• Oral contraceptives: Also known as birth control pills, these are taken daily and contain hormones to prevent ovulation. There are two types: combination pills that contain both estrogen and progestin and progestin-only pills. Different pills are suited for different individuals based on their health conditions.
• Emergency contraception: These are birth control pills that are used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or if a condom breaks.

Birth control methods, such as IUDs, require a physical visit to a physician. However, you can conveniently access other birth control options and obtain prescriptions through our telemedicine services. And if you specifically want an IUD, we can provide referrals to experienced and expert OB-GYNs. 

Besides preventing unwanted pregnancies and helping in family planning, birth control pills offer several other benefits. It can also be used to manage certain health conditions in women. 

• Regulate menstrual cycles: Hormonal birth control pills may help balance the hormonal fluctuations throughout your cycle. This can help address painful and irregular periods. 
• Clear skin: Birth control can help avoid acne breakouts caused by hormonal imbalances. It can also help give you clear skin by regulating your hormones. 
• Reduced cancer risk: Long-term use of some birth control pills can lower your risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer.
• PCOS management: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition in which the ovaries make extra amounts of testosterone. Birth control pills can help by regulating your hormone levels.
• Endometriosis management: Endometriosis is a painful condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it. Birth control pills can help control your pain by stopping your periods.
