Which specialist performs hormonal coil?

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.

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.

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.

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?
