There are many choices for family planning or contraception. You and your partner must choose the right method as a couple. The first decision to make is to determine if the method to be used is a permanent one or a reversible one; is the couple considering having more family in the future, or have they already completed their family?

At the Women's Clinic of South Texas, we can help you in choosing the proper form of contraception that best suits your needs. We offer a wide variety of methods, including the Essure technique, which consists of a permanent method of sterilization that does not require any incision or scars. We are the first practice in the Valley to introduce this revolutionary method of contraception.
