15 - 30 Mins IUD Estimated Cost: Upfront Fee See below Rebate See below Out of Pocket ~$100 - $260 Make an appointment < Back About this Service IUD Insertion and Removal at Brunswick Doctors Mirena | Kyleena | Copper IUD What is an IUD? An IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a highly effective and long-lasting birth control option. Depending on the type, an IUD can last up to 5 years after insertion. If you decide to get pregnant, an IUD can be removed at any time by a healthcare professional, and fertility typically returns quickly. While IUDs offer many benefits, it's important to discuss the potential risks and side effects with your doctor to determine if this method is suitable for you. If you're considering an IUD for contraception, please book an appointment with one of our doctors. Consultation, Procedure & Cost 1st Appointment: Consultation & STI Screening Your first consultation will involve a discussion about your overall health and the pros and cons of using an IUD. An STI screening and pregnancy test may be arranged to ensure the IUD is safe and appropriate for you. Our doctors will also help determine which IUD may be the most suitable for you. Below are the most common IUDs and their differences: Mirena IUD (Hormonal): The Mirena IUD releases the hormone levonorgestrel (LNG) gradually into your body each day. It is effective for up to 7 years and should be replaced at the end of this period. Kyleena IUD (Hormonal): The Kyleena IUD also releases low doses of LNG into your body, with a duration of 5 years. It offers a lower hormone option compared to birth control pills. Copper IUD (Non-hormonal): The copper IUD induces an inflammatory reaction within your uterus, this prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg and may also prevent an egg from attaching to your uterus. It is effective immediately after insertion and can be used as emergency contraception if inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex. 2nd Appointment: Insertion Procedure During the second appointment, our doctors will explain the procedure in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have. If everything is clear, you will receive a prescription to purchase an IUD from a nearby pharmacy. Plan to be at the clinic for about 1 hour, with the actual insertion procedure taking around 30 minutes. The doctor will insert the IUD through your cervix into your uterus, and it will start working immediately to prevent pregnancy. IUD Insertion Fee Upfront Cost: $429.45* Medicare Rebates: $179.45* Out of Pocket Fee: $250 (includes $60 equipment fee) Please note that this price does not include the cost of the IUD and is subject to change. We strive to keep the out-of-pocket cost consistent. 3rd Appointment: Follow-Up A follow-up appointment is recommended 6 weeks after the insertion to ensure the IUD is properly in place and to discuss any side effects you may be experiencing. The doctor will help manage any symptoms and determine if further action is needed. IUD Removal If you simply require an IUD removal, please book a standard appointment (15mins) with Dr Juliana Quay.
