Our Hormone Health Clinic (HRT) provides expert support for women experiencing hormonal changes such as menopause, PMS/PMDD and contraception.

We take the time to understand your symptoms and offer tailored treatment options which range from lifestyle guidance to prescribed medication. By addressing both the physical and emotional impact that hormonal shifts can bring, we aim to help you regain balance and improve everyday wellbeing.

Hormonal Coil (IUS)
The hormonal coil releases a small amount of progestogen (levonorgestrel) directly into the uterus. It provides effective contraception for 3–8 years depending on the type.

Benefits may include lighter or absent periods, reduced menstrual pain, and protection of the womb lining when used alongside oestrogen HRT.

Copper Coil (IUD)
The copper coil is hormone‑free and prevents pregnancy through the action of copper. It lasts between 5–10 years and may be suitable for those who prefer a non‑hormonal option.

The coil is suitable for many people, including those who want long‑term contraception, cannot take oestrogen, are perimenopausal or menopausal, require endometrial protection as part of HRT, or prefer a reversible, low‑maintenance method. A personalised consultation is essential to determine suitability.

The coil is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus. Some cramping or discomfort may be experienced during or shortly after insertion. Pain relief options and aftercare advice are discussed in advance to support comfort.

Mild cramping or light bleeding is common in the days following insertion. Most people can return to normal activities the same day. Clear aftercare advice is provided, including when to seek medical review. A follow‑up check may be offered if required.

Hormonal coils are commonly used during perimenopause and menopause as part of hormone replacement therapy. They provide endometrial protection when taking oestrogen and can help manage heavy or irregular bleeding. This will be discussed in detail if relevant to your care.
