If you want to start using birth control or you have questions about contraceptives, contact your health station. We offer advice on contraceptive methods and support with starting, discontinuing or switching your method of contraception. You can find the contact information of your health station at hel.fi/healthstations.
The contraceptive advice is free of charge. Contraceptives are free of charge for people under the age of 25, as well as those aged 25 or older under certain circumstances. Read more about free contraception
We have centralised the contraceptive services for people under the age of 17 to the centralised contraceptive counselling. At the centralised contraceptive counselling, we also insert IUDs for people who have not given birth vaginally or who have not had an abortion.
