Practising Safe Sex

Practicing safe sex


If you are having sex, it is important to consider use of condoms to protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy.

Women with IBD taking oral contraceptives can be at increased risk of developing blood clots. Speak to your GP or IBD team if you have any concerns about contraception, and how that might be affected by your IBD, or drugs you might be taking for your IBD.

Visit the Health Canada website for further information on Sexual health and promotion.
