Contraception counselling at Nurture Gynaecology is a safe and supportive session where you can gain a wide variety of information on contraceptive methods based on your specific needs, medical history and lifestyle. Our expert guidance can help you choose, discontinue or switch a contraceptive method, so you can make an informed choice.
The main benefit of contraception is your ability to have better autonomy of your body and overall health. Starting a contraceptive method can be useful for other types of treatment outside usual use cases, like minimising unplanned pregnancies. Taking control of your reproductive health can allow you to regulate your ovulation and menstrual cycles, reducing period pain and heavy blood flow or preventing your period entirely if necessary for your lifestyle and physical abilities.
Everyone! There is often a lack of education about women's health, so it is more crucial than ever to see a gynaecological professional to better understand your body, health and contraceptive options. Our principal gynaecologist Dr Brooke O'Brien is experienced in all areas of gynaecology and is among a few recognised Australian specialists in paediatric and adolescent gynaecology.
Contraception counselling can be an important first step toward better hormonal or reproductive health. Gynaecologists can advise you on the most convenient and suitable contraceptive method for your needs and lifestyle.
With a referral from your GP, our friendly team can organise an initial consultation where most of your questions will be answered. Your level of counselling and number of visits will vary depending on how much you already know about your options and whether you plan on a temporary or permanent method of contraception.
Dr Brooke O'Brien, our specialist gynaecologist, offers initial consultations if you want to explore different contraception methods. In addition, if you have been referred by a GP or have already decided on your preferred method, you can book an immediate appointment.
