Reception: Coil & Implant Fitting/Removal Request Form

Long-acting contraception can provide a safe and effective method of contraception.

There are two different types of coil:

One which contains hormones (an intrauterine system, or an IUS for short)
And one which does not contain hormones (an intra-uterine device, or IUD for short)

The hormonal coil (IUS) can be used for contraception and also as part of hormone replacement therapy.

The non-hormonal coil (IUD) can only be used for contraception.

The NHS UK and sexwise website contain more information about the differences between the non-hormonal and hormonal coils.
