A narrow instrument will be inserted into the cervix, and once the threads are located, the removal process will continue as above. In this instance, you may require an ultrasound to locate the threads. In some cases the threads are not visible because they may have slipped into the cervical canal into the uterus.
Our clinician will gently pull on the treads with forceps to remove it. Similar to a smear test, a speculum is inserted into the vagina, and our trained clinician will look for the coil threads that are coming through the opening of the cervix. The removal of a coil takes a few minutes. This helps the womb relax and reduces pain. You can take pain killers half an hour before having the coil removed. There is a risk of you becoming pregnant once the coil is removed because the sperm can live for up to 7 days, and can fertilise the egg. If you wish to have sex then a barrier method should be used. If you wish not to become pregnant then you should not have sexual intercourse 7 day before removing the coil. What do you need to do before the coil is removed? Please see our website for more details, or ask our friendly booking team. The contraceptive coil does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections, so please make sure you are tested regularly. The coil can be removed at any time of your menstrual cycle and once it is removed, your fertility will return to normal. Women prefer to have a coil fitted so they don’t need to worry about taking contraception every day. Coils can stay in the uterus for 3 to 10 years depending on the coil. Coils can also work by stopping the fertilised egg from implanting in the uterus. The copper coil does this by stopping the sperm and egg from surviving, and the hormonal coil does this by releasing a hormone called progesterone which thickens the mucus from the cervix making it difficult for the sperm to fertilise the egg. Both coils are T shaped plastic devices which are inserted into the womb, stopping you from getting pregnant. There are two types of contraceptive coils available on the market, the copper coil (IUD) and the hormonal coil (IUS). Better2Know now offer a fast coil removal service where our friendly qualified clinicians will do this for you. Some women who have the contraceptive coil wish to have it removed, reasons for this can vary.
