Intrauterine Device (IUD) Services

What is an IUD?

An IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a safe, effective, and long-lasting form of contraception. This small, T-shaped device is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy, offering reliable birth control for several years.

Benefits of an IUD

  • Long-Lasting Protection: Depending on the type, an IUD can provide birth control for 5 to 8 years.

  • Convenience: Once inserted, there is no need for daily attention, making it a hassle-free option.

  • Reversible: Fertility typically returns quickly after removal, allowing for flexibility in family planning.

Insertion and Removal Process

  • Quick Procedure: The insertion of an IUD takes approximately 15 minutes and should only be performed by a qualified medical professional.

  • Duration: The IUD remains effective for 5 to 8 years, depending on the specific type.

  • Replacement: When the IUD expires, it must be removed. If you choose to continue using an IUD, a new device can be inserted during the same appointment.

Important Considerations

  • Professional Care: Both insertion and removal of the IUD should be done by a qualified healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.

  • Prescription Required: All IUD devices require a prescription. If you need a prescription, please contact us to book a birth control consultation.
