Coil Removal

If you’re considering having your contraceptive coil removed, ManaPlus offers a fast, discreet, and professional removal service at select UK locations. Whether you’re experiencing side effects, planning a pregnancy, or simply ready to switch contraception, our experienced clinicians are here to support you.

What is Coil Removal?

There are two types of contraceptive coils commonly used:

  • Copper Coil (IUD): Prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm and eggs from surviving.

  • Hormonal Coil (IUS): Releases progesterone, thickening cervical mucus and preventing fertilisation.

Both are small, T-shaped devices inserted into the womb and can remain effective for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. Coil removal is a quick, straightforward procedure that restores your fertility immediately.

Things to Know Before Your Appointment

To reduce the risk of pregnancy after coil removal:

  • Avoid unprotected sex for 7 days prior to removal.

  • If you are sexually active, use a barrier method like condoms.

Sperm can survive in the body for up to 7 days and may fertilise an egg once the coil is removed.

Tip: Taking painkillers 30 minutes before your appointment may help relax your womb and reduce discomfort.

How Is the Coil Removed?

  • The procedure is similar to a cervical smear.

  • A speculum is used to gently open the vaginal walls.

  • Your clinician will locate the coil threads and gently remove the device using forceps.

  • If the threads aren’t visible, an ultrasound or hysteroscopy may be needed to locate and retrieve the coil.

Aftercare

Most women feel fine after coil removal. Mild cramping or spotting is common. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually enough if needed.

Note: The coil does not protect against STIs. If you’re sexually active with a new or multiple partners, regular STI testing is advised.
