Established in 1998, we are dedicated to women’s health and committed to providing the services women need at their convenience. Our coil fitting service is both fast and easy.
If you need a coil fitted or replaced, our family planning specialist nurses are here to help. We offer detailed consultations and assessments, as well as quick and easy fittings at our discreet facilities.
Coils, or intrauterine devices (IUDs), are a popular choice for long-term birth control due to their numerous benefits. They are highly effective, with over 99% efficacy in preventing pregnancy.
IUDs can remain in place for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. They offer the advantage of reversibility, with fertility returning quickly after removal. IUDs are also low maintenance; once fitted, they require no daily or monthly routine.
We offer a range of coils to suit different needs. The Copper IUD is a non-hormonal option that provides effective contraception for up to 10 years by preventing sperm from fertilising an egg.
Alternatively, the hormonal IUD releases a small amount of the hormone progestin to prevent pregnancy and is effective for 3 to 5 years. In addition to its contraceptive benefits, the hormonal IUD also helps reduce menstrual bleeding and cramps.
After the insertion of the coil, some women may experience initial discomfort, such as cramping or spotting, for a few days.
This is a normal reaction and typically subsides quickly. To ensure the coil is correctly positioned and to address any concerns, it is important to attend regular follow-up appointments.
Here are some specific characteristics that might make someone a good candidate for an IUD:

On the online booking engine select the “appointment type” you need.
You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
A coil is inserted by one of our specialist nurses. Prior to the insertion, you will have a consultation and assessment conducted by telephone. Following this, your coil insertion appointment will be scheduled at our Central London clinic, where the procedure will take approximately 45 minutes.
The procedure itself is quick and easy. You will lie on an examination table with your feet in stirrups, similar to a pelvic exam. The healthcare provider will use a speculum to access your cervix, and then insert the IUD through the cervix into the uterus. The procedure typically takes a few minutes.
Light cramping and spotting are common for a few days after insertion. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help. Your provider may schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the IUD is in place and check for any issues. You can typically resume normal activities immediately, though it’s wise to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a short period.
