Frequently Asked Questions

  • DescAn intrauterine device (IUD) is a small device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

    It works by preventing fertilization and, in some cases, altering the uterine environment. IUDs are a long-acting, reversible form of contraception commonly used across Canada.

    There are two main types:

    • Hormonal IUDs (e.g. Mirena, Kyleena)

    • Copper IUDs (non-hormonal option)ription text goes here

  • You do not need a referral to book an IUD appointment at Creekside Health.

    Patients can book through our front desk team. In some cases, a consultation may be recommended before insertion to ensure the right IUD choice and prepare for the procedure.


  • An IUD may be recommended if you are looking for:

    • Long-term birth control (3–5+ years)

    • A low-maintenance option

    • A reversible method

    • A non-estrogen birth control option

    IUDs are considered a first-line contraceptive option in Canada due to their effectiveness and safety profile.


  • IUDs are more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

    They are one of the most reliable non-permanent birth control options available and do not rely on daily or weekly use.


  • During your IUD appointment:

    • Your provider will review your medical history

    • The procedure will be explained step-by-step

    • The IUD will be inserted in a short in-office procedure

  • After your IUD is placed:

    • Mild cramping and spotting are normal

    • You will receive aftercare instructions

    • A follow-up or string check may be recommended
