The surgery provides lots of Contraceptive Services which includes Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) for birth control that helps prevent pregnancy after just one treatment. 

We will be organising additional clinics shortly, so if this is something you wish to consider, please complete the interest form.

There are four different types of LARC:

Contraceptive injection

This is a simple injection into a muscle on the top part of your bottom. Once done, you don't have to worry about getting pregnant for around 13 weeks. 

Contraceptive implant 

The implant is a small, flexible rod placed under your upper arm’s skin and can be left for up to four years. It works by releasing the hormone progestogen, which stops the ovary from releasing an egg and thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the womb. 

Coil with hormones (IUS or LNG-IUD)

This is a small, T-shaped device that’s placed inside the womb. Once in place, you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant for up to 8 years. 

Coil without hormones (Cu-IUD)

This is a small device that’s inserted into the womb. Once in place, you don’t need to worry about getting pregnant for five to 10 years, depending on the type used. The coil stops sperm from reaching an egg and can also stop a fertilised egg from implanting.
