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:

• 30 minute 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 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.  A follow up appointment post having your coil fitted can be included at an additional charge of £240.

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

Please note that our self pay packages are available at The Portland Hospital only.  Please enquire with the practice secretary if you wish to book at another hospital.

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