Contraception can last from 1 day to 10 years depending on the type. The shorter methods are user reliant, this means it's the user's responsibility to take the pill or change the patch or va**nal ring as required. These methods may be less reliable if not used correctly. Long-acting methods are great for those who don't like to think about it every day; simply have it fitted and forget for up to 10 years depending on the type. For further information on contraception visit s*xualhealthsthelens.nhs.uk or call 01744 646473 to book an appointment.
