Mirena / IUD

At Emerald Medical Centre, we’re proud to offer expert and compassionate contraceptive care right here in the Hills.
Dr Micaela Kemm provides IUD (Intrauterine Device) and Mirena insertions and removals in-clinic, supporting women who are looking for a reliable, long-term contraceptive option.

We understand that choosing contraception is a deeply personal decision. Our team is here to help you make an informed choice that fits your health, lifestyle, and future plans — in a calm and supportive environment.

About IUDs and Mirena Devices

An IUD is a small, T-shaped device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
There are two main types:

  • Hormonal IUDs (Mirena or Kyleena) – release a small amount of progesterone to prevent pregnancy.

  • Copper IUDs – hormone-free.

Why Choose an IUD?

Many women prefer IUDs because they:

  • Offer long-term, low-maintenance contraception

  • Can help reduce period pain or bleeding (with Mirena)

  • Are suitable for women who can’t take oestrogen-based pills

  • Allow natural fertility to return quickly after removal

Dr Kemm is trained in both Mirena and copper IUD insertion and removal, and ensures each procedure is handled with skill, care, and respect for your comfort.

What to Expect

Your Initial Consultation

Before insertion, you’ll need a consultation with Dr Kemm to:

  • Review your medical history and discuss contraception options

  • Explain the procedure, risks, and after-care

  • Confirm the best time in your cycle for insertion

This appointment helps ensure the IUD is safe and suitable for you.

The Day of Your Procedure

  • The process takes around 10–15 minutes, though we allow up to 45 minutes to give you plenty of time to ask questions and rest

  • You may experience mild cramping or spotting afterwards

A light meal beforehand and over-the-counter pain relief can make the experience more comfortable.

Aftercare

You can return to normal activities the next day, though some patients prefer to rest for the afternoon.
Cramping or light bleeding is common for a few days.
You’ll be advised when to check your IUD strings and when to return for a follow-up.

IUD Removals

If it’s time to remove or replace your IUD, Dr Kemm can safely remove it in-clinic.
