IUCD Procedure

Safe & Effective Contraception at NovoLife

t NovoLife, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized contraceptive solutions to meet your reproductive health needs. One of our specialized services is the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) procedure, a safe and effective method for long-term birth control.

What is an IUCD?

An IUCD, also known as an Intrauterine Device (IUD), is a small, T-shaped device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is a popular choice for women seeking a reversible and long-lasting contraceptive option.

The IUCD Procedure

Consultation

We start with a detailed consultation to review your medical history, preferences, and any concerns you may have.

Preparation

A pelvic examination is conducted to evaluate the position and size of your uterus.

Insertion

The IUCD is carefully inserted into the uterus using a specialized applicator. The entire process takes just a few minutes.

Follow-Up

We schedule follow-up visits to ensure proper placement and address any concerns.

Types of IUCDs

At NovoLife, we offer two primary types of IUCDs:

  • Copper IUCD: This non-hormonal device releases copper ions, which are toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization. It is over 99% effective and lasts up to 10 years, depending on the type.
  • Hormonal IUCD: This device releases a small amount of progestin hormone, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm and sometimes preventing ovulation. Hormonal IUCDs are highly effective and can last between 5 to 8 years, depending on the specific product.
IUCD Kits

We use sterile IUCD kits for each procedure, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

Though rare, an IUCD may become displaced, causing symptoms like unusual bleeding, discomfort, or missing retrieval strings. If you suspect a misplaced IUCD, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. NovoLife is equipped to diagnose and manage such cases efficiently.

IUCDs and Pregnancy

While IUCDs are highly effective, no contraceptive method is 100% foolproof. If pregnancy occurs with an IUCD in place, there is an increased risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. If you experience pregnancy symptoms with an IUCD, consult a healthcare provider immediately.

The cost of an IUCD in Pakistan varies depending on the type of device and healthcare provider. At NovoLife, we aim to provide affordable options and will discuss pricing details during your consultation.
