'''OVERVIEW'''  
Since the 1990s, Mongolia has improved its sexual and reproductive health care services. However, improvements have been rather slow-moving, and there are still major issues to address. You will find that contraceptive options, like condoms and birth control pills, are available in pharmacies and clinics. However, Mongolian pharmacies have historically experienced periods of stock-outs, especially in urban areas like Ulaanbaatar, so there is no guarantee that any one pharmacy will have what you are looking for. It should also be noted that hospitals and clinics provide other contraceptive options, such as IUDs and contraceptive injectables, and NGOs like Marie Stopes also help provide critical health care services.
In Mongolia, you can obtain emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) without a prescription at pharmacies. You can obtain medication for yeast infections at pharmacies and for UTIs at hospitals or clinics. There are some alternative menstrual products, such as menstrual cups, sold by online vendors, but this is generally extremely rare. It is much more common to see pads or pantyliners sold in stores. If you need to see a gynecologist, there are options available to you at public hospitals and private clinics/hospitals (see the "Gynecological Exams" section for recommendations and details). Furthermore, abortion is fully permitted and available upon request during the first three months of pregnancy.
