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 contraceptive method?

The best method balances effectiveness, your reproductive goals, health history, lifestyle, and personal preference. A clinical consultation reviews all appropriate options — including hormonal, non-hormonal, barrier, and long-acting reversible methods — in the context of your specific health picture.

Are hormonal contraceptives safe for everyone?

Most women can use hormonal contraceptives safely. Estrogen-containing methods are not recommended for women with migraine with aura, history of blood clots, certain cardiovascular conditions, or who smoke over age 35. Progestin-only options are appropriate for many women who cannot use estrogen.

How quickly does fertility return after stopping contraception?

For most methods — pills, patch, ring, injections — fertility returns quickly after stopping, often within 1–3 cycles. The depo-medroxyprogesterone injection (Depo-Provera) may delay return of ovulation for several months longer than other methods.

What is the difference between short-acting and long-acting contraceptives?

Short-acting methods — pills, patch, ring — require consistent use and offer quick reversibility. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) — IUDs and implants — are more than 99% effective, require no daily action, and are reversible, but are inserted and removed by a clinician.

What side effects are associated with hormonal contraceptives?

Combined hormonal methods may cause nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, and spotting — particularly in early months. Progestin-only methods and IUDs may alter bleeding patterns. Side effects vary significantly by method and individual — most improve with time or with a switch to a different formulation.
