IUD Fitting
In-clinic fitting of hormonal and copper IUDs
The intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most effective forms of reversible contraception available. We offer fitting of both the copper (non-hormonal) and levonorgestrel-releasing (hormonal) coil under local anaesthesia for comfort — a procedure that takes around 10 minutes.
IUDs are effective for 3–10 years depending on the type, and fertility returns promptly after removal. They are suitable for women who have and haven't had children.
Key Benefits
- Over 99% effective contraception for up to 10 years
- No daily pill to remember
- Fertility returns promptly after removal
- Hormonal IUD can also reduce heavy periods
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Women seeking reliable, long-acting, low-maintenance contraception
- Patients who prefer to avoid systemic hormones (copper IUD)
- Those with heavy periods who may benefit from the hormonal IUD
