What is Contraception?

Contraception in Dubai refers to the use of various methods and devices to prevent pregnancy. It is an essential part of family planning and reproductive health that helps people to make informed decisions or plan if and when they need children. It works in different manners such as preventing egg fertilization or egg release, and stopping the sperm to rech egg.

The choice of contraceptive method greatly depends on several factors such as age, health status, female lifestyle, and menstrual history.

Common Types of Contraception in Dubai

We offer a wide range of contraceptive options tailored to people’s needs and body conditions. Here are some of them:

1. Barrier Methods

The following contraceptive methods in Dubai prevent the sperm from reaching the egg.

Condoms

A condom is a common and easy-to-use option for both males and females to prevent pregnancy. They also protect people from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Diaphragms and cervical caps

Cervical caps and Diaphragms are placed in the vagina before sex to avoid the mixing of sperm. They must be used with spermicide.

2. Hormonal contraception

Hormonal birth control methods prevent ovulation (the egg release) by limiting the sperm from reaching the egg. It includes the following options:

Oral contraceptives

These are some oral medicines that contain a combination of estrogen and progestin. These Birth control pills are taken daily, and they are highly beneficial and successful. Birth control pills provide regular periods for those with irregular cycles and less painful cramps during menstruation. They do not protect against STIs.

Skin Patch

It is a small band-aid-like patch that is attached to the skin, and it releases hormones such as estrogen & progestin to prevent pregnancy. The contraceptive patch often needs replacement once a week.

Depot injections

Depo-Provera (DMPA) is a popular Contraceptive injection that is administered every 3 months and offers long-lasting benefits.

Vaginal Ring

The ring is placed in the vagina that releases estrogen and progestin hormones for 3 months. It is then removed for one week to allow menstruation. Commonly used rings are NuvaRing and Annovera.

Contraceptive implants

Contraceptive implants (e.g., Nexplanon) involve inserting a small rod that is implanted under the upper arm skin. The hormones are released for 3 years, preventing pregnancy for this duration.

Progesterone intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

Under this procedure, our gynaecologist for contraception inserts a small device into the uterine cavity. The Hormonal IUDs contain progestin to stop ovulation, and they can be used for a long time, 5 years. Its examples include Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, etc.

3. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs)

An IUD is a T-shaped small device that is placed in the uterus by the doctors. These consist of two types of IUDs:

Copper IUDs Copper IUDs consist of copper, which acts like a spermicide to stop the sperm and divert it from reaching the fertilisation. These IUDs are effective for 5-10 years without any hormone use.
Hormonal IUDs These release progestin hormones that help stop pregnancy. Hormonal IUDs can be effective for a period of 5 years.

4. Permanent Contraception

Permanent methods are for those individuals who do not desire any children in the future. Two types of permanent birth control options are available:

Tubal Ligation

Here, a surgical procedure is carried out in which the fallopian tubes are either cut down, blocked, or completely sealed. As a result, the egg can’t travel to the uterus and fertilisation is permanently avoided.

Hysteroscopic Sterilization

It is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small implant is placed in the fallopian tubes. Scar tissue builds around it, which blocks the tube and prevents the chance of getting pregnant. This option consists of:

  • Postpartum sterilization
  • Laparoscopic tubal ligation
  • Hysteroscopic tubal occlusion (Essure)

5. Emergency Contraception

Emergency Contraception is a method that is used to prevent pregnancy right after unprotected sex or in case of failure of any contraceptive method (such as a broken condom). This type of birth control is not recommended for regular use and is considered. This works till after the 72 hours of unprotected sex.

Various types of emergency contraceptives include:

Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs)

These are certain pills, such as Levonorgestrel, that are supposed to be taken early in the morning. They work by delaying the ovulation process so that fertilisation can’t occur. ECPs work ideally when they are used within 72 to 120 hours after unprotected sex.

Ulipristal Acetate (Ella)

This technique is more effective than Levonorgestrel pills, and it is considered after a doctor’s prescription. Ulipristal Acetate is effective for 120 hours post-unprotected sexual intercourse.

Note: An Emergency contraception will not harm or cause any abortion of an existing pregnancy.

Top Benefits of Contraceptive Methods

The benefits of contraception are not limited to only pregnancy prevention, it goes far beyond that. Here are some amazing advantages of birth control in Dubai:

  • Protection Against STIs: Some barrier approaches, such as condoms, protect you from serious Sexually Transmitted Infections.
  • Reproductive Choice: Contraception helps patients to follow their desire, whether they want children or not.
  • Treats Medical conditions: Contraception also deals with some illnesses, such as irregular periods, heavy bleeding, acne, and hormonal imbalances, etc.
  • Stops Unintended Pregnancies: It helps patients to plan their families and prevent the occurrence of pregnancy.

  • Improves maternal Health: Contraception also enhances mothers’ health by providing enough space between pregnancies.
  • Minimise stress: This technique lowers any anxiety or depression linked with an unplanned pregnancy.
  • Deal with Menstruation Problems: Some females consider birth control to minimise the effects of heavy menstrual flow and cramps.
  • Lighter or no periods: Your period could get more limited or even stop totally.

How do Hormonal contraceptives work?

Most contraceptives contain progestin with or without estrogen. These hormones are also naturally produced by the body and work in the following manner to avoid pregnancy:

  • They make the mucus or membranes around the cervic more thicker. As a result, the sperm can’t penetrate the uterus.
  • These hormones turn the uterus lining thinner so that a fertilised egg can not attach to it.
  • In short, it prevents the ovulation process.

Which Contraception method is right for you?

The best choice for you depends on your lifestyle, body and the desired duration for which you want to avoid having a baby. There is no one-size-fits-all “best” method. For instance:

  • If you want a low commitment in something easy, go for condoms.
  • Those who desire everyday protection and a reliable method, birth control pills can be the best option.
  • If you want something temporary but without hormones, a copper IUD or condoms
  • Those who do not want any children in the future should consider permanent methods.
  • If you had unprotected intercourse, then consider emergency contraception.

Who are the ideal candidates for birth control options?

These Preventive inserts aren’t proper for everybody, in any case. The following are some candidates who can be considered more eligible for this treatment:

  • Those who wish to delay or prevent pregnancy.
  • People who prefer temporary protection.
  • People who want to plan for their families or space pregnancy.
