Procedural Clinic for Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC)

Procedural Clinic for Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC)

The procedural Gynaecology clinic was established in November 2017 to provide a specialist outpatient procedural service for women.

This clinic sees women referred from within the hospital or other hospitals and community clinics for the insertion of Long acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) such as hormonal and non-hormonal IUD’s and contraceptive implants, as well as other problems related to LARC such as failed insertion or removal.

LARC is an excellent contraceptive option with efficacy over 99%.

It is easy to insert, is reversible and is effective for between three and 10 years depending on the type chosen. It also significantly reduces menstrual blood loss in over 90% of women, thereby reducing incidence of iron deficiency and anaemia. Women with very heavy menstrual bleeding can also be referred to this clinic for LARC insertion.

Patients who do not want hormonal contraception have a choice of Copper IUCDs which are effective for 5, or 10 years.

The Procedural Gynaecology clinic trains resident doctors and registrars to insert and remove intrauterine contraceptive devices, and the clinic sees patients in the East Wing Clinic once per week.

More information on contraception options.
