Hi, There are several birth control options available with minimal side effects. Some options that your daughter may want to consider include: * Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): These are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus and can prevent pregnancy for several years. There are hormonal and non-hormonal options available. Hormonal IUDs release progestin, which thickens cervical mucus and makes it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. Non-hormonal IUDs use copper to prevent fertilization. * Implant: This is a small, matchstick-sized rod that is inserted under the skin of the upper arm and can prevent pregnancy for up to three years. It releases progestin to prevent ovulation. * Patch: This is a small patch that is worn on the skin and releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It is changed once a week for three weeks and then removed for a week to allow for menstruation. * Vaginal Ring: This is a small, flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina and releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It is changed once a month. * Condoms: These are non-hormonal options that can also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Your daughter needs to discuss her options with her gynecologist and choose a method that works best for her. It s also important for her to understand the benefits and risks of each method and how to use them correctly to ensure maximum effectiveness. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
