Complex Family Planning

Complex family planning is a specialized area within obstetrics and gynecology that focuses on providing comprehensive reproductive health care and counseling for individuals and families facing complex reproductive issues. It involves a range of services aimed at assisting patients in making informed decisions about their reproductive health, including contraception, pregnancy options, and management of complex reproductive conditions.


Comprehensive Reproductive Health Care

Complex family planning encompasses a wide range of reproductive health care services. These may include counseling on contraception methods, such as birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, or barrier methods. It also involves discussions about sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, and counseling for individuals with unique medical, genetic, or social circumstances.


Pregnancy Options Counseling

Complex family planning offers compassionate counseling for individuals facing unplanned pregnancies or complicated situations. It involves discussions about the various pregnancy options, including continuing the pregnancy, adoption, or termination of pregnancy. The focus is on providing non-judgmental support, information, and guidance to help individuals make decisions that align with their values, beliefs, and personal circumstances.


Collaborative and Patient-Centered Care

Complex family planning involves a multidisciplinary approach, with healthcare providers working collaboratively to address patients' unique needs. This may involve close collaboration with reproductive endocrinologists, genetic counselors, social workers, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive and holistic care. The focus is on providing patient-centered care, tailored to the individual's goals, values, and preferences.
