Contraception
Hormonal contraception lets women control if and when they become pregnant. Combined oral contraceptives and progestogen-only pills are the most widely used methods across Southeast and East Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, where access to reliable family planning medicines is a routine health priority.

How hormonal pills prevent pregnancy
Combined pills pair an oestrogen, usually ethinylestradiol, with a progestogen such as desogestrel, levonorgestrel, drospirenone, or norgestrel. Together they suppress ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and thin the uterine lining. Progestogen-only pills (the “mini-pill”) rely on a single hormone, making them suitable for women who cannot take oestrogen.
Choosing the right option
The progestogen used affects tolerability and side-effect profile. Older progestogens like levonorgestrel have a long track record; newer ones such as drospirenone and desogestrel are associated with lower rates of breakthrough bleeding for some women. See the women’s health category for a full list of available tablets. If you experience severe headaches, visual changes, chest pain, or leg swelling while using any hormonal method, seek medical attention promptly.
