Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) |
About 50% of pregnancies are unintended. This can be changed! Intrauterine systems are highly effective, safe, long term, reversible forms of birth control.
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada contraceptive guidelines from 2016 recommends that health care professionals should offer intrauterine contraceptives as a first line method to women of all ages, both with and without previous pregnancies. The copper IUD can be used as emergency contraception as well and the levonorgestrel-releasing system Mirena is also highly effective to reduce painful and heavy periods. This can be very helpful for women in the perimenopausal phase or suffering from endometriosis. |
Patients registered with CITC can make an appointment by calling the clinic at
403-949-2457. Physicians can refer out to a specialist for IUD consults and insertions. |
An IUD is a small, flexible plastic device that is placed into the uterus.
The main purpose of an IUD is to prevent fertilization. An IUD does NOT cause an abortion They are 99+% effective at preventing pregnancy They do not prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections, so a barrier such as a condom is still recommended. |
Please contact the clinic for more information or to book an appointment.
