D&C is a minor surgical procedure where the cervix is dilated, and the uterine lining is scraped or suctioned to remove tissue for diagnosis or treatment.

There are various contraception options available, including birth control pills, patches, injections,
intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, condoms, and natural family planning methods. The choice
depends on factors such as lifestyle, health history, and preferences

reserve testing, hormone analysis, and imaging studies.
