Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some suggestions.

If you want a proper contraception, you can opt for an IUD, as hormone contraceptives, in any form, are likely to cause weight gain.

I cannot comment about the seeds mentioned as I am not sure how they are going to work. An ayurvedic physician would know.

Permanent sterilization is another available option. Please discuss with your gynecologist and plan further management.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
