Complete mental, physical and social well-being are all important aspects of sexual and reproductive health. Having a satisfying and safe sex life, along with the ability and choice to reproduce or not, are areas your midwife can provide guidance.
Some other aspects of sexual and reproductive health your midwife is an expert in are:
• Preconception Counseling
• Menstruation
• Fertility
• Cervical screening
• Contraception
• Pregnancy
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Chronic health problems (examples polycystic ovarian syndrome)
• Menopause
Whether you are looking to grow your family or prevent pregnancy, midwives provide the following options:
