Family Planning & Contraception

At LiveYoung Medical Centre, we provide compassionate, confidential, and evidence-based family planning services. Whether youโ€™re looking for reliable contraception, pregnancy counselling, or early pregnancy termination, our physicians are here to support you with professional care.

๐Ÿ’Š Birth Control Options & Counseling

We offer personalized contraceptive counseling to help you choose the method that best fits your body, lifestyle, and goals. Our services include:

  • Birth control pills โ€“ daily hormonal tablets available in various formulations
  • IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) โ€“ long-acting, reversible birth control placed in-clinic, available in both copper and hormonal types.
  • Contraceptive patches, rings, and injections โ€“ alternatives to daily pills
  • Emergency contraception โ€“ including the โ€œmorning-after pillโ€ and IUD-based options

Youโ€™ll meet with a doctor or nurse practitioner in a confidential, non-judgmental setting to review each methodโ€™s benefits, side effects, and effectivenessโ€”so you can make an informed decision with confidence..

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Family Planning Consultations

Whether you want to delay pregnancy, space out births, or prevent future pregnancies, our team at LiveYoung Medical Centre provides comprehensive family planning care tailored to your needs.

Our Services Include:

  • Pre-pregnancy planning to support a healthy start before conception
  • Fertility awareness and natural family planning education for patients seeking hormone-free options
  • Guidance on transitioning off birth control safely and effectively
  • Referrals to fertility specialists when advanced care is needed

We take the time to understand your medical history, menstrual cycles, and personal preferences before recommending the best approach. Our goal is to help you make informed choices about your reproductive health with confidence and privacy.

๐Ÿšจ Emergency Contraception

If youโ€™ve had unprotected sex or your birth control failed, emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy:

  • Available without a prescription if taken within 72โ€“120 hours
  • More effective the sooner it is taken
  • Can also be administered in clinic if needed urgently

We offer private, walk-in access to emergency contraception โ€” no judgment, no hassle.
