Private Coil Removal in London

Our private coil removal package costs £350. The fee covers a consultation with a consultant gynaecologist, gynaecology ultrasound scanning, full history taking and a pelvic examination, a blood pressure assessment, a contraceptive review, the coil removal itself, and prescription arrangement where needed.

You can book online through our booking page, or call our team on 020 3687 2939 if you would like to talk through the package first.

The package is suitable for any woman interested in having a contraceptive coil removed. A coil can be removed at any time, so you do not need to wait for a particular point in your cycle to arrange your appointment.

If you have been searching for copper coil removal near you, our team can help remove the IUD and talk you through your options at the same visit.

Yes. Our consultant gynaecologists have extensive experience fitting and removing contraceptive coils, including both the copper coil (IUD) and the hormonal coil (IUS). Your consultation includes a full contraceptive review, so you can discuss which options might suit you going forward.

If you would like a new coil fitted at a later date, we also offer a separate coil fitting package.

Your coil removal is carried out by one of our consultant gynaecologists, who have a vast experience in fitting and removing contraceptive coils. The appointment also includes gynaecology ultrasound scanning as part of the assessment.

Because a consultant leads the whole appointment, you can raise any wider gynaecological concerns and receive expert advice during the same visit.

Yes, if you wish. We are happy to send the conclusions and records of your consultation to your GP and to arrange any further referrals as appropriate.

If the check-up raises any concerns about your health, we will arrange a referral to the relevant medical professionals, whether private or NHS, according to your preference, and follow up on any of your concerns.

During your appointment a consultant gynaecologist takes a full history, carries out a pelvic examination and gynaecology ultrasound scan, checks your blood pressure and reviews your contraception before removing the coil. Any prescriptions you need can be arranged at the same visit.

If you have questions about costs or possible side effects beforehand, please contact our team and we will be glad to help.

Most women find that having a coil removed is quick and more comfortable than having one fitted. You may feel some brief cramping as the coil passes through the cervix, but this usually eases within a short time.

Your removal is carried out by a consultant gynaecologist, who will explain each step and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If you tend to get period-type cramps, you are welcome to ask your clinician what pain relief, if any, is suitable for you.

The removal itself usually takes only a few minutes and is generally quicker than having a coil fitted. Your overall appointment is a little longer, because it also includes a consultation, a gynaecology ultrasound scan, a pelvic examination and a contraceptive review.

This means you leave with more than the coil simply removed — you have had a full assessment and the chance to discuss what happens next.

Yes. The NHS notes that it is possible to become pregnant as soon as your coil has been removed — your natural fertility is not delayed. Because ovulation can happen before your first period returns, some women conceive before their next period arrives.

If you would prefer not to become pregnant, the NHS advises using condoms or not having sex for the 7 days before removal, as sperm can survive for up to 7 days. Our consultant can discuss ongoing contraception with you at the same visit.

Coil fitting is offered as a separate package at our clinic, so it is not automatically included with a removal. If you know you would like a replacement, please tell our team when you book and we will advise whether a fitting can be arranged at the same visit or at a follow-up appointment.

Either way, your removal appointment includes a full contraceptive review, so you will leave with a clear plan. You can read more about what is involved in our coil fitting package.

Sometimes the threads of a coil draw up into the cervical canal and are not visible straight away. This does not usually mean anything is wrong.

The gynaecology ultrasound scan included in your appointment helps confirm the position of the coil, and your consultant will assess whether it can be removed at the same visit — in most cases it can be. In the uncommon event that removal is more complex, we will explain your options and arrange onward care if it is needed.

No. A coil should always be removed by a trained clinician — the NHS notes that a trained doctor or nurse can remove an IUD at any time, so there is never a need to attempt it yourself.

At our clinic, your removal is carried out by a consultant gynaecologist, with a gynaecology ultrasound scan beforehand to confirm the coil's position — a far safer and more comfortable route than pulling on the threads at home.
