Contraception & Birth Control
A contraception consultation by video call helps you choose or review a birth control method that suits your health history and lifestyle.
What Is a Contraception Telemedicine Consult?
Choosing or reviewing contraception is often a straightforward conversation — and one that does not usually require an in-person visit. In a video consultation with Dr Lim, we will walk through your options, discuss what fits your health and lifestyle, and agree on next steps, including whether a prescription or an in-clinic consultation or procedure is needed.

Ask questions about contraception candidly, from a comfortable setting.
Convenience for reviews
If you are simply reviewing or switching your current method, you often do not need to come in.
Faster access
Get guidance sooner, without waiting for the next in-clinic slot.
Continuity
Speak with a doctor who knows your health history, not a different clinician each time.

Is This Right for You?
Discussion and counselling about contraception suit telemedicine well, and some methods can be prescribed after an appropriate assessment. However, methods that involve a procedure — such as fitting or removing an IUD or a contraceptive implant — need an in-person visit, and Dr Lim may also recommend an in-person check for certain methods depending on your health history, such as blood pressure monitoring before starting some hormonal options.
When to skip telemedicine and seek immediate care Telemedicine is not suitable for emergencies. Call 995 or go to your nearest A&E if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy or unusual bleeding, chest pain, or difficulty breathing. For time-sensitive concerns like emergency contraception, call our clinic directly so we can advise you promptly on the best next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a contraceptive prescription through telemedicine?
In many cases, yes, after an appropriate assessment of your health history. Some methods, or your individual history, may mean an in-person visit is recommended first.
Can an IUD or implant be fitted via telemedicine?
No — fitting or removing an IUD or implant is a procedure that must be done in person. We can discuss whether it is the right option for you over video, then arrange the in-clinic appointment.
I need emergency contraception — can telemedicine help?
Call our clinic directly, as timing matters. We will advise you on the fastest, safest way to access emergency contraception.
Can I switch methods without an in-person visit?
Often yes, particularly if you are moving between similar methods and have no new health concerns — Dr Lim will confirm what’s needed for your specific situation.
Is this consultation confidential?
Yes. All telemedicine consultations run through a secure, private video platform, with the same confidentiality as an in-person visit.
