IUD Insertion & Removal Manly
An intrauterine device, or IUD, is a small contraceptive device placed inside the uterus by a trained health professional. IUDs are a form of long-acting reversible contraception and include both copper and hormonal options. Copper IUDs do not contain hormones and can last for 5 to 10 years depending on the type used.
At South Steyne Medical Centre, IUD services are provided by doctors with an interest in women’s health and contraception. Dr Yliana Dennett and Dr Nikita Hostland provide copper IUD insertion and removal services at the practice.
Patients considering an IUD will usually require an initial consultation before any procedure is booked. This allows the doctor to discuss suitability, medical history, contraceptive history, menstrual history, procedure details, costs, rebates and next steps.
Whether you are considering a copper IUD for contraception, need an existing IUD removed, or would like to discuss your contraceptive options more broadly, the doctors consulting from South Steyne Medical Centre can provide practical, respectful and evidence-based care.
Conveniently located directly opposite Manly Beach, appointments are available online, by phone or in person.

How Does IUD Insertion and Removal Work?
- Book an Initial IUD Consultation
The first step is usually to book an initial IUD consultation with one of the doctors offering this service.
This appointment is used to discuss your medical history, contraception history, menstrual history, reasons for considering an IUD, and whether an IUD may be suitable for you.
The IUD insertion itself is not performed during the initial consultation.
This appointment type is available via HotDoc and is called ‘IUD Initial Consult’.
Alternatively you can contact us over the phone or via email through this link.
- Discuss IUD Suitability and Options
During your consultation, the doctor can discuss the different types of IUDs, including copper and hormonal options, and help you understand which option may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Copper IUDs are non-hormonal and are among the most effective forms of contraception. IUDs do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so the doctor may also discuss STI screening or other protection depending on your circumstances.
- Arrange the Procedure Appointment
If an IUD is suitable and you decide to proceed, a separate procedure appointment may be arranged.
The doctor will explain what to expect before, during and after the procedure, including preparation, possible discomfort, risks, aftercare and follow-up.
- Attend the IUD Insertion or Removal Appointment
IUD insertion involves placing the device inside the uterus. IUD removal is usually performed by locating the IUD threads and gently removing the device. Removal should be performed by a trained health professional.
The doctor will discuss aftercare and advise when to seek medical attention if you experience concerning symptoms.
IUD Services Available
- IUD Initial Consultation
Patients considering an IUD should usually book an initial IUD consultation first. This appointment is used to discuss suitability, medical history, contraceptive history, menstrual history, procedure details, costs, rebates and next steps.
The IUD insertion itself is not usually performed during the initial consultation. If suitable, a procedure appointment may be arranged separately after discussion with the doctor.
- Hormonal IUD Insertion & Removal
Hormonal IUD insertion and removal services are available at South Steyne Medical Centre following an initial consultation with one of the doctors offering this service.
A hormonal IUD may be used for contraception and, in some cases, for management of heavy periods or other menstrual concerns. During the initial consultation, the doctor will discuss your medical history, contraceptive history, menstrual history, suitability, procedure details, costs, rebates and next steps.
If suitable, a separate procedure appointment may be arranged for insertion or removal.
- Copper IUD Insertion & Removal
Copper IUD insertion and removal services are available with Dr Yliana Dennett and Dr Nikita Hostland at South Steyne Medical Centre.
A copper IUD is a non-hormonal contraceptive option. Patients considering a copper IUD will usually require an initial consultation before the procedure is booked. This allows the doctor to discuss suitability, medical history, contraceptive options, procedure details, risks, costs, rebates and preparation.
Copper IUD removal is also available for patients who need an existing copper IUD removed, whether due to expiry, side effects, changing contraception, planning pregnancy, or personal preference.
