Hormonal contraceptives come in many different forms, and after determining which product works best for you, they can provide a very effective means of preventing pregnancy. There are several different versions of the combined pill; whereas the minipill is a progesterone-only version of the pill, which is suitable for women who are sensitive to oestrogen. In addition to this, the dermally applied contraceptive patch provides a means for those who prefer not to take a tablet every day to stay protected.
Intrauterine devices available from your GP or family planning clinic include the contraceptive ring, and the ‘coil’.The morning after pill is also available from your local family planning services, in cases where a primary method of contraception is suspected to have failed.
The menopause is something which every woman will go through, and coping with the associated physical and emotional effects isn’t always easy. Hormone replacement therapy is an effective way of maintaining a balance in the body, and reducing menopausal symptoms. However we do not currently offer HRT through our service.
Hormonal medicines are also useful for those who want to delay their period (which might not be convenient during times of intense study, or when undertaking a sporting event) or find relief during episodes of heavy periods or period pain.
Here at Treated.com, we offer treatments for more intimate conditions, such as urinary incontinence, urinary urgency or vaginal thrush. We also provide treatment for excess facial hair (hirsutism). You can find out more about these by clicking the icons above.
