An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small T-shaped plastic device that is inserted into a woman's uterus by a healthcare provider to prevent pregnancy. It's a long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods available.
At Lifebridge Health Centre, we prioritize patient comfort and safety during the IUD insertion process. Our healthcare providers are experienced and trained in providing comprehensive counselling, ensuring that patients understand all aspects of the procedure, including its benefits, potential risks, and post-insertion care.
The procedure is straightforward and usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. After a pelvic exam, a speculum is inserted into the vagina to hold it open, and then the IUD is inserted into the uterus through the cervix. There may be some discomfort during the process, but pain medications can be given, and the procedure can be timed with the menstrual cycle when the cervix is naturally more open.
Once the IUD is inserted, it can work for 3-10 years, depending on the type. Some women may experience cramps or spotting after the procedure. However, these symptoms should subside after a few days. At Lifebridge Health Centre, we offer post-insertion check-ups to ensure the IUD is in place and functioning correctly.
Lifebridge Health Centre is committed to providing quality and personalized healthcare services. We ensure a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for all IUD insertion procedures. Our team is dedicated to helping you make the best decision for your health and lifestyle.
