When to Remove Your Coil or IUD

Depending on the type of contraceptive coil (IUD) you have fitted, it can usually stay in place for 3–10 years before needing to be replaced. However, many women choose to have their coil removed earlier — whether they are ready to start a family, want to change their contraception, or simply feel that the IUD is no longer the right option for them.

At Ready Health, we offer a fast, confidential and dignified coil removal and IUD removal service. Whether you want your device removed and replaced, or removed without replacement, our clinicians are here to support you.

Our IUD & Coil Removal Procedure

Removing a coil (IUD) is a routine and straightforward procedure that usually takes no longer than 30 minutes at our private clinic in Standish.

When you attend your appointment:

Your clinician will review your pre-assessment form and carry out a short consultation with you.
You’ll then be asked to get into a position similar to a cervical screening (smear test).
Using a small pair of forceps, the clinician will gently locate the coil strings and carefully remove the device from your uterus.

Every woman’s experience of coil (IUD) removal is different. Some report only mild discomfort, while others may experience cramping or period-like pain. This is completely normal, and we recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if required.

Coil Removal with the NHS

The NHS does provide IUD and coil removal, but many women find that they face long waits for an appointment due to high demand. In some cases, this can mean waiting weeks or even months for removal.

By choosing private coil (IUD) removal with Ready Health, you can avoid long NHS waiting times and book an appointment at a time that suits you.

All of our clinicians are fully registered medical professionals who provide care with dignity, respect and professionalism. Our private service allows you to take control of your contraceptive choices without unnecessary delays.
