Coil Fitting Package

Who is it for?
Every woman considering having a coil fitted (IUD, IUS, IntraUterine Device) for contraceptive purposes.

How often?
As required.  Most coils will need removing after 5 or 10 years depending on the type.

What does it involve?
Having a coil fitted involves:

• A consultation with a Consultant Gynaecologist
• Full history taking and pelvic examination
• Blood pressure assessment
• Contraception review
• Coil fitting (range of coils available including hormonal and non-hormonal)
• Removal of existing coil (+ £105 if required)
• Detailed written report emailed or posted to you and your GP
• Prescription arrangement
• Direct access for any urgent health concerns

Our coil fitting package does not include a follow up appointment as we generally refer patients to their GP for follow up. Whilst we aim to provide a one stop service for the maximum convenience of our patients, if you have any questions pertaining to your results, follow up appointments can be done virtually 30 mins (£175), 15 mins (£100) or face to face 30 mins (£280).

We advise patients to take paracetamol 30mins prior to their coil fitting appointment.

For more information on coils and coil fitting, read our ‘All About Coils’ blog written by Consultant Gynaecologist Miss Meg Wilson here.

If you are visiting us at The Portland Hospital, there may be additional hospital charges that will be billed directly to you by the hospital and the total invoice amount should be the same.

Our packages are for self pay patients only, if you have private health insurance, please discuss with the consultant during your appointment.
