IUD (Intra-Uterine Devices) at Juno Specialists

IUDs can be used for contraceptive purposes and in the management of pelvic pain and heavy bleeding.

As is standard for Juno, long consultations allow you the time to explore whether an IUD is the right choice for you and your circumstance. And time to address any concerns or questions you may have about the process itself.

Juno GPs providing IUD insertions are sensitive to the many different presentations, experiences and histories that may influence your feelings about IUD or the procedure itself.

Your GP will take the time to fully understand your health history and any factors which may impact your physical or emotional comfort during the procedure.

Our top priority is that you feel safe enough, heard and cared for at all times. Your feelings will be respected, your experience will be taken into account, your voice will be heard.

‘What Even Is This Place?’ a reflection from a Juno experience

‘What even is this place?’

She looked around. Eyes wide. Jaw released. Naming the very thing we all felt in that moment.

It was the way she looked around.

As though she’d found the entrance to The Secret Garden. As though she’d come through the wardrobe and stumbled straight into Narnia.

 We were co-creating elevated care - in real time. Witnessing how this changes things - in real time.
