Coil Fitting & Assessment
We offer Copper and Mirena coil fittings as long-term contraceptive options tailored to your needs.
The Mirena coil is a hormonal IUD that provides effective contraception while also being used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women on oestrogen, helping to protect the womb lining. It is particularly beneficial for those with heavy periods or needing endometrial protection.
The Copper coil, a hormone-free IUD, offers reliable contraception for up to 10 years, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a natural, non-hormonal option.
During your appointment, our experienced specialists will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. We also offer coil checks, removals, and replacements as needed. Book your coil fitting appointment today for safe, effective, and long-lasting contraception.
