Why Choose IUD with Sedation?
Choosing an IUD insertion under sedation at GCA Queanbeyan offers a thoughtful approach to what can be a sensitive procedure. We understand that the idea of an IUD insertion can be daunting for many, which is why we offer complimentary sedation to help alleviate any anxiety and discomfort you might feel.
At GCA Queanbeyan, our primary aim is to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Sedation allows for a more relaxed procedure, reducing physical discomfort significantly and helping you remain calm throughout the process. This approach not only enhances your comfort but also contributes to the overall safety of the procedure by allowing our healthcare professionals to work with greater ease.
We are committed to patient satisfaction and safety, ensuring that our practices set a standard of care that recognises and addresses your needs thoughtfully and effectively. Opting for sedation with your IUD insertion at our clinic means choosing a path that places your well-being at the forefront of our concerns.

IUD Options
We facilitate the insertion of both hormonal IUDs, such as Mirena, and non-hormonal copper IUDs. Each type offers distinct benefits, including long-term efficacy and reversibility. It’s important to bring your prescribed IUD, obtained from a pharmacy, to your appointment.
