IUD Insertion and Removal at Songpa Goeunbit Women's Clinic

If you’re looking for reliable, long-lasting, and reversible birth control, an intrauterine device (IUD) might be the perfect choice. At Songpa Goeunbit Women's Clinic, we offer professional IUD insertion, replacement, and removal services. IUDs are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, offering over 99% effectiveness, and are ideal for those who want a low-maintenance, long-term contraceptive option.

Types of IUDs Available at Songpa Goeunbit Women's Clinic

There are two primary types of IUDs available: hormonal IUDs and non-hormonal IUDs.

Hormonal IUDs:

These IUDs contain a small amount of progesterone (levonorgestrel) that is slowly released to prevent pregnancy.
Brands include Mirena® (52mg) and Kyleena® (19.5mg).
Hormonal IUDs work by thickening cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining, which helps block sperm and reduce menstrual bleeding.
They can remain effective for 3 to 8 years.
Ideal for those with heavy periods, as they often lighten or stop menstruation.

Non-Hormonal IUDs (Copper IUDs):

These IUDs contain a small amount of copper, which naturally prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg.
Effective for 5 to 10 years, depending on the size and model.
Suitable for those who prefer hormone-free contraception.
May cause heavier periods initially.
Can also be used as emergency contraception if inserted within 72 hours of unprotected sex.

IUD Insertion Procedure

At Songpa Goeunbit Women's Clinic, we ensure a safe and comfortable IUD insertion process.

Pre-Insertion Consultation:

Your medical history will be reviewed, and a pelvic examination will be conducted to assess uterine health.

Insertion Process:

The IUD is inserted through the cervix into the uterus using a thin applicator tube.
You may experience mild cramping during the process, but the procedure is quick.
Pain relief options, including local anesthesia and oral pain relievers, are available.

Post-Insertion Care:

Mild cramping and spotting are normal for a few days.
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort.
Follow-up visits are recommended to ensure the IUD is properly positioned.

IUD Removal Procedure

When you decide to remove your IUD, the process is simple and quick. Your healthcare provider will gently pull on the IUD strings to slide it out. There is minimal discomfort, and fertility returns almost immediately.

Sedation Options for IUD Insertion

For those who may find the procedure uncomfortable, sedation options are available:

IV Twilight Sedation: Recommended for those who have never been sexually active or are anxious about the procedure.
Oral Pain Relief: Suitable for those who prefer to stay awake during the insertion.
Our team will guide you in choosing the most comfortable option based on your preferences and medical history.
