WHAT IS THE BIRTH CONTROL PATCH?

Today, there are several birth control methods available if you wish to avoid a pregnancy. In addition to IUD placement and taking birth control pills, the birth control patch offers effective and easy birth control for women of all ages.

Like many other forms of birth control, the birth control patch releases hormones that prevent you from becoming pregnant. However, instead of remembering to take a birth control pill each day, the birth control patch only requires replacement once a week. You can learn more about the birth control patch and its risks and benefits by watching this short video.
