Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) have emerged as a highly effective and convenient option for people seeking long acting contraception or to reduce menstrual bleeding and pain. At Clarity Medical, we understand the importance of providing choices that cater to individual needs and preferences. Our safe and private procedure room is designed to offer a comfortable environment for fitting Mirena, Kyleena, and the Copper IUD.
Mirena and Kyleena, both hormonal IUDs, share similarities yet present distinct features. Mirena, with a lifespan of 5 years, or 7 years if being used for menopause management, releases a low dose of levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that thickens cervical mucus and thins the uterine lining, This prevents fertilisation and, for the majority of people, makes periods shorter, lighter and often stops them all together. Kyleena, a slightly smaller device with a 5 year efficacy, also releases levonorgestrel but in a lower dosage, making it an excellent choice for people who prefer a smaller IUD and want to keep their period while still benefiting from hormonal contraception.
For those looking for hormone-free alternatives, the Copper IUD may be the ideal choice. Inserted in a simple and quick procedure, the Copper IUD can provide up to 10 years of protection. This non-hormonal option stops sperm working properly, thus preventing fertilisation of an egg. It’s an extremely reliable way of preventing pregnancy for those looking to avoid hormones.
Clarity Medical’s commitment to privacy and safety is reflected in our state-of-the-art procedure room, where your experienced healthcare professionals ensure a seamless and confidential experience. We understand that choosing the right contraceptive method is a personal decision, and our team is here to provide comprehensive information and answer any questions you may have.
Whether you opt for the convenience of Mirena, the smaller profile of Kyleena, or the hormone-free protection of the Copper IUD, Clarity Medical is dedicated to empowering you with the knowledge and support you need to make the best decision for your reproductive health. Schedule a consultation today to explore the world of IUDs and take control of your contraceptive journey with confidence.
