Finding the right contraception can be difficult. From the injection to the implant to the pill, there are many options to choose from. When you combine this with side effects and risks and how often you need to use it, it can be overwhelming.
But if you are sexually active, it’s important that you explore these options which is why Northumbria Healthcare are making it easier for you to navigate the methods of contraception.
Contraception, which is free for everyone aged 13 and above, can help prevent pregnancy and condoms can help protect you from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Different types of contraception suit different people.
We’re supporting Northumbria Healthcare’s new campaign to encourage anyone over the age of 13 living in North Tyneside to look after their sexual health by exploring the different contraception options available to help prevent against pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
If you are sexually active, you can find what works for you by visiting Northumbria Healthcare’s contraception webpage - northumbria.nhs.uk/contraception
If you’re worried about anything to do with your sexual health or would like to discuss something in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact Northumbria Healthcare’s sexual health team. You can find the details here.
