gynefix

This is similar to IUCD - The Coil but has the following differences:

  • it is a series of small copper rods that are put into the womb and fixed to the lining of the womb by a knotted thread
  • suitable if previous coil(s) have fallen out
  • must be put in during days 1-5 of the menstrual cycle
  • requires referral to Glasgow for specialist insertion
