Intrauterine Coil Fitting in Leicester

The Health Suite Leicester offers professional and discreet Intrauterine Coil (IUD) fitting, a highly effective long-term contraception method. The IUD is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a trained healthcare professional. 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.

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.
