Contraception Counselling / Temporary Methods – DMPA

Temporary Methods Like DMPA

At Rebirth Women’s Clinic, we offer safe, reliable, and patient-friendly temporary contraception options, including DMPA injections. Under the guidance of Dr. Swati Badgire, we ensure correct evaluation, counselling, and follow-up for women seeking short-term but effective birth control methods.

What Is DMPA?

DMPA (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) is a hormonal contraceptive injection taken once every 3 months. It works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the lining of the uterus, making pregnancy highly unlikely.

At Rebirth Women’s Clinic, DMPA contraceptive care includes:

  • Proper counselling about how DMPA works and its benefits

  • Safe administration of the injection every 3 months

  • Monitoring for side effects and managing any menstrual changes

  • Guidance on fertility return after stopping the method

  • Personalized advice depending on health conditions and lifestyle

How DMPA Works

Prevents Ovulation

DMPA stops the ovaries from releasing an egg, making conception unlikely.

Thickens Cervical Mucus

The mucus becomes thicker, preventing sperm from reaching the egg.

Thins the Uterine Lining

A thinner lining reduces the chances of implantation.

Benefits of DMPA

  • Highly effective (over 99% with timely injections)

  • Convenient – only one injection every 3 months

  • Safe for women who cannot take estrogen

  • May reduce menstrual cramps and bleeding over time

  • Reduces risk of anemia and endometrial problems

Possible Side Effects

  • Irregular bleeding or spotting (common initially)

  • Temporary weight changes

  • Delayed return of fertility after stopping (3–12 months)

  • Rarely, headache or mood changes

Who Can Benefit from DMPA?

DMPA is ideal for women seeking a long-lasting but reversible method of contraception, especially those who prefer not to take daily pills or use estrogen-containing methods.
