Guiding You To Comfort
Birth control has unlimited possibilities when determining the personalized method that works best for you. This is a good thing. But it can also feel like a complicated web of elusive tips and methods that are sometimes hard to follow. “Will the pill disturb my menstrual cycle?” “Does a copper IUD hurt?”
“Is the shot effective?” These are all questions that women ask when seeking guidance at our birth control clinic in Winter Garden. When you visit Horizons OBGYN & Aesthetics, you are in the hands of dedicated and compassionate specialists who are always here to help!
How It Works
Of all the many capabilities and methods of birth control, it was primarily designed to inhibit ovulation. Hormonal methods of birth control, such as the pill or patch, work to regulate your hormones and suppress ovulation.
The more common barrier methods, like condoms for instance, physically block sperm from fertilizing the egg. Newer birth control studies also have shown that intrauterine devices (IUDs) can also prevent fertilization by altering the natural state of the uterus.
