What our patients are saying about us
Paula Moore
Patient
Had my coil removed, Catherine was professional and friendly, and put me at ease by explaining what I may experience during the procedure. I was made to feel relaxed and didn’t even realise she had removed the coil, it took no time at all and was completely painless. Lovely clinic and I was made to feel welcome as soon as I entered.
Emma Ried

I had an IUD fitted with Dr Smith and whilst it was a little uncomfortable, it was a lot better than I’d been anticipating! She was excellent as was her assistant and I felt very reassured whilst having the procedure done.

Contact usHow long does a coil fitting take?
While the appointment lasts around 40 minutes in total, the actual fitting normally takes around 10 minutes.
Does having a coil fitted hurt?
There is typically some discomfort when having a coil inserted, but this can vary significantly from one woman to another. We recommend taking ibuprofen or paracetamol before the appointment to minimise discomfort and provide pain relief. We also use anesthetic gels and sprays to help numb the area and provide additional relief.
How quickly is the coil effective?
The copper coil is effective immediately after insertion. While hormonal coils, are effective immediately if fitted within the first five days of your period.
What can I expect after a coil fitting?
Most women have some cramping or discomfort for two to three days after a coil fitting or replacement. A small number of women may have some discomfort for longer. The use of painkillers will generally help.
When can I have a coil fitted?
A coil can be inserted at any point during your menstrual cycle, as long as you’re 100% sure you are not pregnant.
Can I bring a friend or relative?
Absolutely! We have tea and biscuits for everyone.
