Safe and Affordable Mirena IUD Insertion on the Gold Coast
Coomera Town Medical Centre offers safe, professional, and affordable Mirena intrauterine device (IUD) insertion by experienced doctors. Mirena is a long-term, reversible contraceptive that provides up to five years of birth control and can also help manage heavy periods and other gynecological conditions.
What is a Mirena IUD?
The Mirena IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus to provide effective contraception and hormonal regulation. It slowly releases levonorgestrel, a progestin hormone that prevents pregnancy by:
• Thickening cervical mucus to stop sperm movement
• Thinning the uterine lining to prevent implantation
• Reducing ovulation in some women
Mirena is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and is one of the most commonly recommended contraceptive methods for long-term birth control.
Benefits of Mirena IUD
• Highly effective contraception for up to five years
• Reversible – fertility returns quickly after removal
• Reduces heavy menstrual bleeding in many women
• May help manage period pain and endometriosis
• Convenient and low-maintenance – no daily pills required
• Can be used while breastfeeding
Who is Suitable for a Mirena IUD?
Mirena is suitable for many women, including those who:
• Want a long-term, reversible contraceptive
• Experience heavy periods or painful menstrual cycles
• Have endometriosis or hormone-related conditions
• Need a hormone-based option with minimal systemic effects
• Prefer a low-maintenance birth control method
Mirena may not be suitable for women with certain medical conditions. Our doctors will assess your medical history to ensure it is the right option for you.
What to Expect During a Mirena Insertion
Mirena insertion is a quick procedure performed by a trained doctor at Coomera Town Medical Centre.
The process includes:
• A consultation to discuss suitability and answer any questions
• A pelvic examination to ensure correct placement
• The insertion of the Mirena device using a small applicator
• A follow-up appointment to check placement and comfort
Most women experience mild discomfort or cramping during insertion, which typically subsides within a few hours.
What Are the Possible Side Effects?
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Some women may experience:
• Irregular bleeding for the first few months
• Mild cramping or discomfort after insertion
• Hormonal side effects, such as headaches or breast tenderness (less common)
Serious complications are rare, but it is important to follow up with your doctor if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of infection.
