Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right birth control method for me?

The best method balances effectiveness, your reproductive plans, health history, lifestyle, and personal preference. A clinical consultation reviews all options — short-acting hormonal (pills, patch, ring), long-acting reversible (IUD, implant), progestin-only, non-hormonal, and barrier methods — in the context of your specific health and goals.

Are hormonal birth control methods safe for all women?

Most women can safely use hormonal contraception. Estrogen-containing methods are not recommended for women with migraine with aura, history of blood clots, certain cardiovascular conditions, or smokers over 35. Progestin-only options and non-hormonal methods are available for women with estrogen contraindications.

What is the most effective birth control method?

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) — hormonal IUDs, copper IUDs, and the implant — are the most effective reversible methods, with failure rates below 1%. They require no daily action and are fully reversible. Sterilization is the most effective permanent option.

How quickly does fertility return after stopping birth control?

For most methods — pills, patch, ring, implant — fertility returns within 1–3 menstrual cycles. The hormonal injection (Depo-Provera) may delay return of ovulation for several months beyond the last dose. IUD removal allows immediate return of fertility.

What side effects are associated with hormonal birth control?

Combined hormonal methods may cause nausea, breast tenderness, spotting, and mood changes — often improving after 2–3 cycles. Progestin-only methods and IUDs frequently alter bleeding patterns. The implant may cause irregular spotting. Non-hormonal methods (copper IUD, barrier methods) avoid hormonal side effects entirely.
