IUD Services

About This Service

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective forms of contraception available, offering years of protection with minimal daily attention required. Fast Med Medical Center provides confidential IUD insertion and removal services for patients seeking long-acting, reversible contraception. IUDs are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus by a trained medical professional, where they provide continuous pregnancy prevention for 3 to 12 years depending on the type. The two main types are hormonal IUDs, which release progestin and can lighten or stop periods, and copper IUDs, which use no hormones and can last up to 12 years. Both types have very high effectiveness rates (over 99%). The insertion procedure is quick, typically taking just a few minutes, though some women may experience mild cramping during or after insertion. We provide detailed information about what to expect during insertion, aftercare instructions, and how IUDs work. Removal is also a quick, simple procedure when you're ready to try to conceive or switch contraceptive methods. All services are provided in a confidential, supportive environment.
