Birth Control Consultation
Birth control isn't one-size-fits-all. The right option depends on your health history, lifestyle, and what you're looking for — whether that's pregnancy prevention, period regulation, managing PCOS, or clearing hormonal acne. Herexa Health's board-certified OB-GYNs match you with an evidence-based option, with a prescription sent to your preferred pharmacy following physician review when medically appropriate. No pelvic exam required before prescribing.

Medications are prescribed by a licensed physician and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy. Packaging and brand may vary. A board‑certified OB‑GYN will review your answers before any prescription is issued.
Finding Your Right Birth Control
Combined hormonal contraceptives — pills, the patch, and the vaginal ring — use estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy mainly by stopping ovulation. When taken correctly, they're over 99% effective. Progestin-only options are also available for women who can't take estrogen.
Common Goals & Uses
- Preventing unintended pregnancy
- Regulating irregular, heavy, or painful periods
- Managing PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
- Treating hormonal acne
- Reducing endometriosis-related pain
- Skipping or controlling your period
Note: Combined hormonal birth control is not recommended for women over 35 who smoke. Your provider will recommend the
safest option based on your health history.
