Intrauterine Coil Fitting in Leicester

Emergency contraception refers to methods or medications used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure, offering a time-sensitive option to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.

After a confidential consultation, we will determine the best emergency contraception for you. This may be an oral emergency contraceptive pill or a copper coil. We will discuss the benefits and risks associated with each method and empower you to make the most informed decision.

We offer two emergency contraception treatments:

Copper coil: A copper coil can be used for emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. A copper coil consists of a small T-shaped plastic device which is inserted into the uterus and can be left in place for greater than 5 years.

Morning after pill: This is medication you can take by mouth, it needs to be taken at a very specific time after unprotected sexual intercourse, and our nurse will be able to advise if this is the best option for you.

Common Q&A about Intrauterine Coil Fitting

An intrauterine coil, or IUD, is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

IUDs prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg and can also prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, depending on the type.

There are two main types: hormonal (e.g., Mirena) that release progestin, and copper-based (e.g., Paragard) that create an environment toxic to sperm.

A healthcare provider inserts the IUD through the cervix and into the uterus during a quick, in-office procedure.

Some individuals may experience discomfort or cramping during and after the insertion, but pain levels can vary.

Hormonal IUDs can last between 3 to 7 years, while copper IUDs can be effective for up to 10-12 years.

Possible side effects include irregular bleeding, cramping, and, in some cases, an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Yes, copper IUDs can be used as emergency contraception if inserted by a healthcare provider within 5 days after unprotected intercourse.

You can check for the presence of IUD strings attached to the device in your uterus; your healthcare provider can show you how.

Contact us if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of infection (fever, chills) following insertion.
