What is birth control?
Birth control is best described as any treatment or solution that significantly reduces the risk of conception during sexual intercourse. It is often a part of family planning, allowing women to control if and when they become pregnant. Some women want to extend the period of time between children, while others want to avoid pregnancy altogether until they are emotionally and financially ready. Whatever the reason, birth control options are here to help!
