Long-Term Protection, Trusted Care – Intrauterine Coil Fitting at The Health Suite Leicester

It provides reliable, hormone-free protection for up to 5-10 years, depending on the type of coil chosen. During the consultation, the healthcare team will discuss the benefits, and potential side effects, and answer any questions you may have to ensure it’s the right option for you. The fitting is a quick procedure, and with proper aftercare, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re protected from unintended pregnancy.

- Long-Term Protection – Once fitted, an IUD provides continuous contraception for 5 to 10 years, depending on the type, offering long-term peace of mind without needing regular attention.
- Hormone-Free Option – The copper IUD is hormone-free, making it a great choice for those who prefer or need to avoid hormonal contraception.
- Reversible – Fertility returns quickly after removal, so it’s an excellent option for those who may want to conceive in the future.
- Convenience – No need for daily maintenance or remembering to take pills, making it a hassle-free option for women with busy lifestyles.

At The Health Suite Leicester, before undergoing an Intrauterine Coil (IUD) fitting, you’ll have a thorough consultation with one of our healthcare professionals. During this consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your contraceptive options, and determine which type of IUD is the most suitable for you. To ensure the procedure is safe and effective, we require that you are not pregnant, and a pregnancy test may be performed if there’s any uncertainty. We also check for active infections or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as part of the screening process. While the IUD is often recommended for women who are sexually active or have previously given birth, it can also be an option for those who haven’t. Our team will explain the procedure to you in detail, offering pain relief options if necessary to ensure your comfort. After the fitting, we provide clear aftercare instructions, guiding you on how to care for your IUD and ensure its effectiveness. At The Health Suite Leicester, we are dedicated to providing personalised, compassionate care and supporting your contraceptive needs with professionalism and expertise.
** Patients must provide a GP referral or complete the screening form prior to their appointment. Failure to do so may result in a fee being charged without the service being delivered or may cause delays in receiving care.
