A member asked:

Could i have birth control without going to the gyno?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some options: Condoms and a variety of spermacidal agents are available over the counter and do not require a doctor visit. Oral, injectable and surgical forms of birth control should never be entertained unless under the direct care of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Best wishes
