Family Planning & Contraceptives

Family planning is an important part of reproductive health. 

At EveryMed General Practice in East London, we offer confidential, supportive, and personalised contraceptive and family planning services for women and men of all ages. 

Our goal is to help you make informed choices that match your lifestyle, health needs, and future plans.

What Is Family Planning?

Family planning allows you to:

  • Choose if and when to have children
  • Prevent unplanned pregnancies
  • Space pregnancies safely
  • Manage your reproductive health
  • Receive advice on sexual wellness

EveryMed provides safe, medically guided contraceptive options tailored to your specific needs.

Contraceptive Options Available at EveryMed

We offer a wide range of modern contraceptives, including:

1. Contraceptive Injection

A popular, long-acting birth control option that:

  • Lasts 8–12 weeks
  • Is highly effective
  • Does not require daily action
  • Is safe for most women

Your GP will help you choose the right injection schedule.

2. Oral Contraceptive Pills

Birth control pills help regulate:

  • Ovulation
  • Menstrual cycles
  • Hormonal symptoms

Suitable for patients who prefer a daily method.

3. Emergency Contraception

Used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Works best when taken as soon as possible.

4. Condoms (Male & Female)

Provide protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

5. Long-Term Birth Control Guidance

We offer counselling for long-term contraceptive methods such as:

  • IUDs (via referral)
  • Implants (via referral)

Your GP will help assess suitability and refer you to the appropriate provider.

Who Can Use Contraceptives?

Most women and men can safely use contraception. It is especially recommended for:

  • Individuals wanting to avoid pregnancy
  • Couples planning future pregnancies
  • Young adults needing confidential contraceptive care
  • Women who want cycle control or relief from painful periods
  • Patients with chronic health conditions who require pregnancy planning

Your GP will help determine which option is safest for you.

Our GP provides:

  • Full contraceptive counselling
  • Safe administration of injections
  • Monitoring for side effects
  • Pregnancy testing (if needed before starting)
  • Advice on switching methods
  • Sexual health screening if required

We create a supportive environment where all questions are welcome.

Benefits of Family Planning

Family planning allows you to:

  • Prevent unplanned pregnancy
  • Plan your future confidently
  • Improve reproductive health
  • Reduce the risk of complications
  • Manage menstrual and hormonal symptoms
  • Protect against STIs (with condoms)

Good planning leads to better long-term health outcomes.
