Which specialist performs hormonal coil?

Short answer

An obstetrician-gynaecologist usually inserts a hormonal coil, with a nurse or clinic team supporting preparation and aftercare.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What the appointment involves

The gynaecologist discusses your health, bleeding pattern, pregnancy possibility, and any concerns before obtaining consent. During insertion, a speculum is used to see the cervix, and the device is guided through the cervix into the uterus. The clinician checks the position and trims the threads. A trained family-planning clinician may provide the service where local practice allows.

Preparing for insertion

Tell the clinician about unusual discharge, pelvic pain, fever, allergies, or medicines that affect bleeding. Ask what pain-relief options are suitable for you and whether you need a pregnancy check or infection assessment. Arrange time to rest afterwards if cramping occurs, and learn how to check the threads if advised.

When to seek care

Seek prompt medical advice for severe or increasing pelvic pain, fever, heavy bleeding, foul-smelling discharge, dizziness, or concern that the coil has moved or come out. Sudden severe pain, fainting, or a positive pregnancy test with pain needs urgent assessment. Use the clinic's emergency contact instructions.

Questions to ask

Ask: Is a hormonal coil suitable for me? Who will insert it? What should I expect during recovery? How will I know it remains in place, and when should I return for a check?
