Misinformation about contraception has been spreading on social media, alongside the "very real frustrations" of women complaining about side effects.

We’ve updated our Contraception Choices IUD pages, making it easier than ever to find clear, trusted information about coils and the pain‑relief options that can be discussed at a fitting. ⁠
⁠
Whether you’re curious about the hormonal IUD, the copper IUD, or just starting to explore your contraception options, our website is a fantastic place to learn the basics: ⁠
⁠
- What an IUD is ⁠
- The difference between hormonal and copper coils ⁠
- How long each type lasts ⁠
- What happens at a fitting ⁠
- Pain‑relief options that can be discussed ⁠
⁠

We are excited to launch the Pain Shouldn’t Be Part of the Plan Patient Toolkit! This resource has been developed to support anyone considering an intrauterine device (IUD).

This new resource brings together clear, evidence‑based information on what an IUD is, what to expect during a fitting, and the full range of pain‑relief options that should be available. It also features expert‑led videos and practical guidance designed to help patients feel informed, supported, and confident at every stage of their decision‑making.

At the heart of this campaign is a simple message:
You are in control. You have options. You can stop at any time.

Stay tuned for a week of content tackling pain during IUD fittings.

Our Story

Sexual Health D&G remain open, offering telephone or video consultations (called ‘NearMe’) for any sexual health queries or concerns.

Appointments can be booked online (https://sexualhealthdg.co.uk/clinics.php#book) or by phoning 0345 702 3687 Monday – Friday 9am – 4pm.

The clinician may be able to offer a solution without having to see you face to face as prescriptions and tests can be posted or medication collected. The clinician can offer a face to face appointment if necessary and will arrange this with you. There are measures in place within our clinics to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
