An intrauterine device (IUD) is a form of long-term birth control.

A small plastic T-shaped device is inserted into the uterus and can prevent pregnancy for 3 to 10 years (depending on the type of IUD).

The IUD procedure only takes a few minutes, and it can be placed in the office setting.

During the procedure, you may experience some cramping or dizziness. Your provider may recommend that you take an over-the-counter painkiller before the procedure.

The T-shaped IUD is placed in the uterus, leaving 2 small strings outside the cervix for removal.

A follow up appointment may be scheduled after the procedure to be sure the IUD is still in the correct place. Your provider will show you how to check that the IUD is still in the correct position.

Your IUD will be removed when it has reached its expiration date, if you are experiencing a medical problem, if you plan to become pregnant, or if you just want it removed.

It can be removed during a short procedure at our office. Your provider will gently pull on the IUDs strings to pull the IUD through the cervix and out of the vagina.

This is a helpful procedure if you bleed between your menstrual periods, have a heavy flow, or have periods that last a long time.

Endometrial ablation removes the endometrium, whics the lining of the uterus.

In most cases, your period will return to normal or a light flow, and sometimes it will stop completely. 

This procedure can be done in our office, and most women can return to their normal routine within a few days.

You should not have endometrial ablation if you are pregnant or plan on a pregnancy in the future.
