Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
The choice starts with a conversation: the doctor finds out whether you are planning a pregnancy soon, how you tolerated previous methods and which illnesses you have had. Objective data are added to this picture: blood pressure, body mass index, ultrasound results and, if needed, hormone tests. Methods work in different ways: hormonal methods act on ovulation, a coil works mechanically or through the hormone it releases, and barrier methods stop sperm from moving.
The doctor also looks specifically for contraindications, which are usually what narrows the list. High blood pressure, varicose veins, a history of cancer or regular use of other medicines can rule out hormonal methods, and then a coil or barrier methods are considered. That is why a prescription that suited a friend or sister should not be used without an examination.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Barrier methods of contraception are condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps. They stop sperm from reaching the uterus, and condoms have an additional advantage: they also protect against sexually transmitted infections. Condoms remain an affordable and economical option with minimal side effects, but they must be used consistently.
Hormonal contraception includes oral contraceptives, patches, rings and injections, which suppress ovulation with synthetic hormones. With correct use their effectiveness exceeds 99%, and additional effects include a more regular cycle and less period pain. The specific product is chosen to suit your body and medical history.
Intrauterine devices (IUDs, coils) and implants are long-acting methods that work for 3 to 10 years. IUDs work mechanically or by releasing hormones, and implants are thin rods placed under the skin. These options need no daily attention and have little effect on the body.
The MediUkraine team will arrange a consultation with a specialist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod who will choose a method based on your needs and medical indications.
Once a method has been chosen, the monitoring stage begins. You receive your test results, a written recommendation and advice on lifestyle, diet and factors that affect hormonal balance. The first weeks are telling: this is when it becomes clear how your body has responded and whether anything needs adjusting.
During this period it is important to follow the instructions: have follow-up tests on time, have an ultrasound if needed, do not miss doses, and avoid stress and excessive physical exertion if the doctor has recommended such restrictions. If side effects appear or you feel different, the doctor adjusts the plan, changes the dose or the type of method. It is worth noting any changes, such as dates, the nature of discharge, headaches or mood swings: with these notes it is easier for the doctor to tell a reaction to the method from other causes.
Contraception counselling is a consultation with a gynaecologist at which a method of preventing pregnancy is chosen for the individual patient, taking into account her health, medical history and plans for the future. The specialist carries out a thorough examination and reviews the indications and contraindications for different methods.
The doctor assesses hormonal health, blood pressure, any varicose veins and other risk factors that affect whether hormonal methods can be used. Combined oral contraceptives, progestogen-only pills, intrauterine devices, barrier and natural methods are all considered.
MediUkraine will arrange an appointment with an experienced gynaecologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, coordinate the booking and support you at every stage.
A consultation in Ukraine costs significantly less than at European and North American clinics. In Germany or the USA a first visit costs 80–150 euros or dollars. The price of contraceptives themselves also differs: abroad, hormonal contraceptives can cost 50–100 euros a month, depending on the product and the insurance system, while in Ukraine they cost considerably less.
MediUkraine puts you in touch with gynaecologists at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod at transparent prices. You deal with the doctor directly, without paying extra to coordination centres abroad, so you save both money and the time needed to organise an appointment in another country.
The clinic offers a full range of methods, from hormonal pills and patches to intrauterine devices and implants. The level of medical care is comparable to European standards while prices remain lower: with MediUkraine patients save 40–60% compared with Western prices.
Examinations and prescriptions follow international medical standards, and appointments take place at a clinic with the appropriate equipment. Sterile instruments and accurate diagnostics are ensured by the clinic's internal quality control, procedures remain minimally invasive and your data stays confidential.
Recommendations are given by gynaecologists who look at each case individually, analysing test results, hormonal balance, the features of your cycle, possible contraindications and reproductive plans. A personalised approach reduces the risk of side effects; this is what distinguishes a prescription from choosing a product yourself at a pharmacy.
The clinic follows international protocols. The doctor guides you from taking your medical history and initial tests to adjusting the recommendations and further monitoring. At the end you have a written plan: what to take, when to come for a check-up and which symptoms mean you should come sooner.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Contraception counselling is a consultation at which the doctor identifies a method of preventing pregnancy that suits you based on your age, hormonal health, general health and reproductive plans. Besides protection, a well-chosen method helps keep your cycle stable and avoid side effects.
The cost depends on the scope of diagnostics. Prices usually start from USD 20 for a consultation with a gynaecologist, from USD 52 for a comprehensive hormonal assessment and from USD 28 for additional tests. This is noticeably lower than average European prices, with comparable quality.
It is worth seeing a doctor when choosing a method for the first time, and also with an irregular cycle, painful periods, after childbirth, when planning a pregnancy in the future or if side effects from your current method appear. A consultation is also needed if you have endocrine or gynaecological conditions.
It is usually enough to tell the doctor about your cycle and previous methods of protection; if needed, the doctor will order a pelvic ultrasound or hormone tests (oestrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, AMH). If you have had tests or treatment before, bring the results with you.
Yes. Most coexisting conditions are not a contraindication. On the contrary, with gynaecological, endocrine or inflammatory conditions the method is chosen especially carefully so as not to harm your health. The doctor weighs up all the risks and suggests the option with the fewest restrictions for your case.
• the need for reliable protection against pregnancy;
• an irregular cycle or hormonal fluctuations;
• painful or heavy periods;
• preparing for a future pregnancy;
• a tendency to endometriosis, cysts or fibroids;
• side effects from a previous contraceptive method;
• the period after childbirth or after gynaecological procedures.
Having no complaints does not mean any method will suit you. Contraception is not treatment of a disease but family planning, so the reason for a consultation is the choice of method itself, not symptoms. Some limitations, such as raised blood pressure, clotting disorders or varicose veins, go unnoticed for a long time and are found precisely at the appointment. A method that suited you a few years ago may become unsuitable as your health changes.
Through MediUkraine you can book a consultation with a gynaecologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod: they will examine you, take your medical history and choose an option that matches your age, health, contraindications and wishes. It is also worth coming if you have used the same method for several years and have not been examined since.
