IUD Insertion

Experience Convenient and Effective Contraception with IUD Insertion at Kardinia Health in Geelong

At Kardinia Health in Belmont, Geelong, we understand that choosing the right birth control method is a personal decision. Among the various contraceptive options available, Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs) have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and high effectiveness. If you are considering an IUD as your preferred contraception, our experienced team is here to provide you with comprehensive IUD insertion services.

Two Types of IUDs: Mirena and Copper

IUDs offer a reliable and safe form of contraception. The two most commonly used types are Hormonal IUDs, such as Mirena or Kyleena, and Copper IUDs. Mirena IUDs release hormones and are especially effective for managing problematic periods. On the other hand, Copper IUDs do not affect hormones but still provide a highly effective form of contraception.

Professional IUD Insertion with Pain Relief

At Kardinia Health, we offer IUD insertions to our patients in a safe and supportive environment. Our skilled practitioners discuss pain relief options in the pre-insertion consultation. Please note that there is a fee for the IUD service, as it is not fully covered by Medicare.

The IUD Insertion Process

The IUD insertion process at Kardinia Health involves three separate appointments to ensure your well-being.

• During the initial 30-minute pre-consult, you will have a discussion with the doctor to receive detailed information about the IUD and the entire insertion process.
• The second appointment, lasting 30 to 60 minutes, is dedicated to the insertion procedure.
• After the insertion, we will schedule a 6-week post-check-up to verify the IUD’s position and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Expert IUD Insertion by Experienced GPs

Not all doctors at Kardinia Health perform IUD insertions. When making your booking, our reception staff will help you find the right GP who is trained and experienced in performing the IUD procedure, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the process.

Long-Lasting Contraception with Easy Removal

Once inserted, the IUD remains inside the uterus for up to five years before requiring replacement. The IUD removal process is simple and can be completed during a standard consultation.
