Coil Clinic
Our Coil Clinic provides expert private GP consultations and personalised care for safe, comfortable coil insertion, removal, and advice.
Procedure
The Coil Clinic provides consultations and coil insertions for both copper (non-hormonal) and hormonal (Mirena or Kyleena) intrauterine devices (IUDs). After a full consultation and pelvic examination, the coil is inserted into the uterus through the cervix using a sterile speculum. The process takes about 10–15 minutes and may cause mild discomfort. Local anaesthetic is available if needed. You’ll be given post-procedure guidance and invited for a follow-up to ensure placement and comfort. The coil offers long-term contraception for up to 3–10 years depending on the type.
What to Expect at the Clinic:
- Completion of your Medical History form and reproductive health discussion.
- Review of contraceptive needs and counselling on coil options.
- Pelvic examination and insertion of the coil under sterile conditions.
- Rest for a few minutes post-insertion and receive aftercare advice.
- An aftercare form will outline what to monitor and when to seek help.
- Book for a follow-up appointment or ultrasound if needed.
