Bodyvie, one of London’s leading advanced medical and aesthetics clinics, offers both IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) coil fittings and safe, quick removals. Family planning supports reproductive health and promotes healthier maternal behaviors during pregnancy.
At Bodyvie, established in 1999, our doctors specialise in the safe removal of all types of coils, including IUDs and IUSs. These devices are designed to remain in the uterus for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type, and are widely recognised as a highly effective form of long-term birth control.
Reasons why you may opt for coil removal:
- You are trying to get pregnant
- Coil reached the end of its lifespan
- Encountering unwanted symptoms
- Would like to try a new type of birth control
You can have your coil removed at any time during your cycle, though the most optimal time is during the latter period when your cervix is most elastic. The whole process can be performed in a single visit and in just a few minutes. Before removal of the coil takes place, we will ask you questions about your general health and experience of being on the coil.
You should feel completely normal after having your coil removal procedure, though some women experience light bleeding and minor cramping during and immediately afterwards. If you had been experiencing side effects whilst you were on the coil, these will subside once it has been removed, and your period should return to how it was prior to having the contraception fitted.
If you feel any discomfort after your coil is removed, you can usually manage it with over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol. If you go home and have strong pain that lasts more than a couple of hours, please contact us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You should avoid intercourse for 7 days before coil removal. You may wish to start an alternative type of contraception before your coil is removed, to make sure it is effective straight away after you no longer have your coil.
Just like in the case of a smear test, a speculum is placed into the vagina, and your clinician will identify the coil threads located through the opening of the cervix. The clinician will gently pull on the threads, allowing the coil’s arms to fold up and slide out. In some (rare) cases, special instruments may be needed to remove it.
An experienced GP will remove your coil.
