Contraception

All our doctors can discuss and advise regarding contraception. You can also attend a community clinic at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

You can be prescribed:

  • The contraceptive pill
  • The progesterone-only pill
  • The contraceptive patch

If you’d like to know about your options first, there are many resources available. We recommend the Sexwise website as a reliable and easy to use resource.

In addition to the core services outlined above, we also offer special services.
