Insertion of Intrauterine Device
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped contraceptive device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped contraceptive device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types: Hormonal IUDs (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena) which release a small amount of progestogen; and Copper IUDs which do not contain hormones and rely on copper to prevent pregnancy. Both types are long-acting, reversible, and highly effective forms of contraception.
Before the Procedure you may be asked to attend a consultation to discuss your medical history and ensure the IUD is suitable for you. A pregnancy test and screening for STIs may be also done prior to insertion.
