In Guatemala, you will find women's health care resources, but not without some challenges. Birth control is legal and available without a prescription. There are varying reports regarding the legality and availability of emergency contraception (the morning after pill), but most pharmacists tend to advise women to take birth control as replacement emergency contraceptive (due to lack of availability). While you can find pads and tampons in the city, there are no known sellers of menstrual cups. Note that, once you're outside of cities in Guatemala, it may be difficult to find many menstrual products. You can receive STD/STI testing at medical facilities, and there are no travel restrictions tied to anyone who tests positive for any STI. Abortion is generally illegal, unless the woman's life is in put in jeopardy by pregnancy. | In Guatemala, you will find women's health care resources, but not without some challenges.
