In Dhaka, contraception (birth control) can be purchased without a prescription. You can obtain emergency contraception (the morning after pill) without a prescription at pharmacies, as well. Regarding STIs, you'll be able to get tested in most facilities, and there are some recognizable organizations and support groups for those affected by hepatitis and HIV. There are some larger private hospitals, which are associated with global hospital groups, that are known to provide some of the best care in Dhaka, though they will cost you more money. You can see their details in the "Gynecological Exams" section below. As for menstruation, you'll be able to find pads, pantyliners and some tampons, but we're not sure if any menstrual cups are for sale in the country. Abortion is generally illegal unless the woman's life is endangered. However, Bangladesh does allow Menstrual Regulation (MR), which allows for vacuum aspiration if a woman misses a period.
