At Bloom Women’s Health, we understand the importance of informed choices in reproductive health and contraception. We provide consultations for IUD contraception in Brisbane, including hormonal IUD options such as Mirena and Kyleena. Our gynaecologists can discuss whether an intrauterine device is suitable for you and guide you through the insertion, removal, and replacement process.
Long-acting, pill-free contraception, such as intra-uterine devices (IUDs) are becoming very popular with women around the world including Australia and are hailed as one of the most dependable forms of reversible birth control available to women today. These tiny, T-shaped plastic devices contain hormones in their stem and are inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. For most women, they are incredibly effective, lasting for years without requiring daily attention.
IUD insertion is a procedure performed by a trained doctor or gynaecologist in a clinical setting. During the procedure, the intrauterine device is inserted into the uterus through the cervix using a specialised applicator. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes, although some women may experience temporary discomfort or cramping.
Before insertion, your doctor will discuss the most suitable IUD option for you, review your medical history, and ensure the timing of insertion is appropriate. Follow-up may be recommended to confirm the device is correctly positioned.
At Bloom Women’s Health, our gynaecologists provide IUD insertion consultations and procedures, including hormonal IUD options such as Mirena and Kyleena.
Kyleena is a top-tier IUD designed to provide up to five years of contraceptive protection. Kyleena is slightly smaller than Mirena and contains a slightly lower amount of hormone dosage. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable birth control method with minimal hormonal effects.
Mirena, another trusted IUD, offers up to five years of contraceptive protection. It’s recommended for women seeking a longer-term solution and contains a slightly higher hormone dosage, making it a suitable choice for various preferences and needs.
An intrauterine device can be removed at any time by a doctor or gynaecologist. Some women choose removal when planning pregnancy, changing contraception methods, experiencing side effects, or when the device has reached the end of its recommended duration.
IUD removal is typically a quick procedure performed in the clinic. The device is removed by gently pulling the strings attached to the IUD. Most removals are straightforward, although occasionally further assessment may be required if the strings are not visible.
If you are considering IUD removal or replacement, a consultation with a gynaecologist can help determine the most appropriate next steps and discuss alternative contraception options if required.
While both are highly effective forms of contraception, our gynaecologists at Bloom Women’s Health will guide you through the nuances of Kyleena and Mirena, helping you select the IUD that best supports your lifestyle and health needs.
Our dedicated team of gynecologists provides personalised consultations to help you make the right contraceptive choice. We prioritise your health and preferences, ensuring that your IUD insertion is safe, comfortable, and effective.
