Birth Control

At South Dayton Pediatrics, we understand that birth control is a very personal and sometimes uncomfortable subject to talk about.

All of our providers are sensitive to this and can provide counseling regarding birth control options and which one is the best one for your child.

Some of the issues we'll discuss include:

• Is birth control appropriate for your child?
• Which form of birth control is most appropriate.
• The effectiveness of the various types of birth control.
• The cost of the various types of birth control.
• The possible side effects of the various types of birth control.

Dr. Parks is now certified in Nexplanon insertion and removal

Nexplanon is a prescription birth control implant which is inserted under the skin of the patient's non-dominant arm. Once implanted, it releases a continuous low dose of a hormone that helps reduce the chance of becoming pregnant.

Dr. Parks will help patients determine the best time within their monthly cycle to have Nexplanon implanted. She will also address how long to use additional methods of birth control after implantation and potential side effects.

Nexplanon can remain implanted for up to three years. To learn more, click here to visit the Nexplanon website.
