IUD Insertion and Removal in Miami
An IUD is a small, T-shaped device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It works for years, there is nothing to remember day to day, and it can be removed whenever you want. We place and remove IUDs in the clinic.
Types of IUD
There are hormonal IUDs, which release a small amount of progestin, and copper IUDs, which contain no hormones. Depending on the type, an IUD can prevent pregnancy for several years. Your provider helps you choose.
What insertion is like
Placing an IUD takes a few minutes in the exam room. You may feel strong cramping for a short time during insertion and milder cramps for a day or two afterwards. Pain medication can help.
Removal
Removing an IUD is usually quick. Your ability to get pregnant returns soon after removal, and you can have a new IUD placed at the same visit if you want one.
Frequently asked questions
How well does an IUD work?
IUDs are among the most effective forms of birth control available.
Does an IUD protect against STIs?
No. Condoms are the only method that also lowers the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
Can I get an IUD after an abortion?
Yes. An IUD can often be placed right after a surgical abortion, or once a medication abortion is confirmed complete.
