There are many different motivations for why women choose to use birth control. The primary purpose is to stop women from getting pregnant, but oral contraceptives and other forms of birth control can also be used to treat various problems that affect people’s health.
Many women acquire birth control through their reproductive health care provider, but it can be accessed from other sources.
Your primary care physician can frequently serve multiple roles, attending to both your general medical requirements and your gynecological requirements. Even if your primary care physician does not perform pelvic exams, she is still able to write you a prescription for birth control, whether it be on a permanent or temporary basis. However, she will probably require that you visit a gynecologist at some time for your annual pelvic exam.
To obtain birth control tablets, a doctor’s prescription is required.
At your appointment, a nurse or doctor will ask you questions about your past medical conditions, check your blood pressure, and perform any other examinations that may be necessary. In order to obtain birth control pills, a pelvic exam is typically not required of patients. Your nurse or doctor will discuss your medical history with you in order to assist you in making an informed decision about what is best for you.
During your appointment, it is possible that you will be able to obtain your birth control pills immediately. Another option is for the nurse or doctor to write you a prescription, after which you will go to a drugstore or pharmacy to pick up your medication.
It is essential to arm yourself with all of the relevant information prior to settling on a method of birth control. This will allow you to make the choice that is most suitable for your needs.
Your primary care doctor will talk to you about the various birth control options available and help you to decide which is the best one for you. These could include:
Fortunately, you can still access safe birth control even if you do not have a primary care provider.
First and foremost, an OBGYN can prescribe you birth control. If you do not have one of these, there are other alternatives available, such as Planned Parenthood. In some states, a pharmacist can also prescribe birth control.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to get to see a healthcare professional face to face, and this is where telehealth services can come into great use. It enables you to speak to a primary care doctor and other health care professionals by phone or video chat, removing many of the obstacles to getting birth control if you do not have a primary care doctor.
Just like with a face-to-face appointment, you can discuss the different options available to you and get a prescription. This prescription can be either mailed to you for you to arrange yourself, or they can arrange for it to be sent to a mail-order pharmacy, so your birth control is delivered straight to your house.
