Home / Fertility / GYNAE PROCEDURES / Mirena Coil Removal
Mirena coil removal is a straightforward outpatient procedure to take out an existing intrauterine system. This may be performed at the end of its effective lifespan, when planning pregnancy, or if you choose to discontinue this form of contraception.
Your appointment includes a discussion with a clinician to explain the removal process, the removal itself, and post‑procedure guidance regarding your options for contraception or next steps in care.
Removal is usually quick and can be done in the clinic without anaesthesia. The clinician gently extracts the device using a specialised instrument. Some people experience mild cramping or discomfort, which typically resolves quickly. After removal, you will be advised on any follow‑up care or alternative contraceptive choices.
