Only you and your HCP can decide if Kyleena is right for you. Kyleena does not protect against HIV or STIs. Periods over time usually become shorter, lighter, or may stop.

If you want to become pregnant, you’ll be immediately fertile again after removal of the IUD. Every kind of IUD can be removed or replaced at any moment.This can be done by speculum examination (free) or by vaginal ultrasound (25 euro’s). We plan a check-up appointment after about 6 weeks after placement.You can also choose for one Naproxen tablet if you don’t breastfeed. We advise to take two Paracetamol tables of 500mg one hour before the placement.The IUD will be send to your home address. If you are insured for contraception, please contact your medical insurance company. We’ll prescribe a (digital) recipe to the pharmacy which will contact you through mail for the payment of the IUD. It is allowed to place an IUD at a minimum of 10 weeks after the delivery.Ultrasounds to see if the IUD is in the right place is also possible at our practice. We also perform removal/replacement of an IUD if the placement was done at another practice/hospital. The most used copper coil is the T-Safe and is suitable for 10 years. In addition the copper coil cause the uterine lining to be unsuitable to nest in. The copper coil causes the sperm cells to be paralyzed and prevents fertilization. Both IUDs can remain in the uterus for 5 years. The Kyleena is six millimeter smaller due to the smaller dosage of hormones and is therefore more pleasant if you’ve never been pregnant before. The Mirena has 52mg of levonorgestrel and the Kyleena has 19,5mg levonogestrel and the size. The function, hormones, and target of both IUDs are the same, but the difference being in the dosage of hormones. There are two hormone spirals: the Mirena and the Kyleena. In some cases, the ovulation is suppressed.The hormones in the IUD may cause the menstruation to stop completely due to the reduced production of the uterine lining. This uterine lining normally causes the blood loss during menstruation. The uterine lining is stopped being produced.


The movement and functions of sperm cells are inhibited.The mucus in the cervix becomes thicker and tougher.The hormone spiral submits hormones to the uterus that can prevent pregnancy. Roughly there are two kinds: IUDs with hormones and with hormones (the copper coil). If you’re considering of an IUD placement, it is important to inform yourself about the multiple variations of IUD’s.
