What is IUD Insertion (Contraceptive Coil)?
An intrauterine device (IUD), often called a coil, is a small T-shaped device placed inside the womb. Copper IUDs interfere with sperm movement and fertilisation; hormonal IUDs thicken cervical mucus and thin the lining of the womb. Both are highly effective, long-acting methods, and fertility returns quickly once the device is removed. The hormonal IUD is also used to treat heavy periods. In Turkey, IUDs can be fitted at family health centres and gynaecology clinics.
How is IUD Insertion (Contraceptive Coil) done?
- Examination, with a smear and pregnancy test if needed
- Choosing the type of IUD
- Insertion on the examination couch, often during or just after a period
- Ultrasound check of the position a few weeks later
- Yearly check-ups
Who is IUD Insertion (Contraceptive Coil) suitable for?
- Women wanting long-term, reversible contraception
- Those who forget pills or cannot use oestrogen
- After childbirth and while breastfeeding, at the right time
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (hormonal IUD)
- Not suitable with pregnancy, active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding or a markedly abnormal womb shape
Aftercare: what to watch out for
- Cramping and spotting are common in the first days.
- With a copper IUD, periods may be heavier and more painful in the first months; with a hormonal IUD, periods often become lighter or stop.
- See a doctor promptly for fever, severe lower abdominal pain, foul-smelling discharge or if you cannot feel the threads.
- An IUD does not protect against sexually transmitted infections; use condoms as well where needed.
Possible side effects and risks
- Cramping and light-headedness during insertion
- Expulsion or displacement of the device
- A slightly higher risk of pelvic infection in the first weeks
- Very rarely perforation of the womb wall
Are there alternatives?
Contraceptive pills, the implant, injections, condoms and permanent methods (tubal ligation, vasectomy) are alternatives.

Who is the best doctor for iud insertion in Çanakkale?
There is no single “best” doctor for everyone. The right doctor for you is experienced in iud insertion, easy to reach, and explains the options clearly. Check whether the doctor lists this treatment on their profile, their specialty (gynecologist, family doctor), the overall picture of patient reviews and the clinic’s location, and ask for a clear written treatment plan, timeline and cost at the first consultation. For major treatments you have the right to a second opinion. “En İyi Hekim” (Turkish for “best doctor”) is our brand name: we do not rank doctors as “best” and rankings cannot be bought.

On each profile you can see reviews, the clinic address and available times, and send a free appointment request through our site.
How long does iud insertion take?
The procedure usually takes 5–15 minutes. Number of visits: One visit plus a follow-up check.
How long does an IUD last?
It depends on the type: most copper IUDs work for 5–10 years and hormonal IUDs for 3–8 years. It can be removed at any time before then.
Does an IUD cause weight gain?
The copper IUD contains no hormones and does not cause weight gain. The hormonal IUD releases a very small, mostly local amount of hormone; weight change is rarely reported.
Does having an IUD fitted hurt?
Most women feel brief, period-like cramping; your doctor may suggest taking a painkiller beforehand.
