Why Choose IUD with Sedation?
Opting for an IUD insertion under sedation offers numerous benefits that prioritise comfort and safety during what can be a daunting procedure.
At GCA Sydney, we understand the anxiety and discomfort that can accompany IUD insertions. That’s why we provide complimentary sedation services—ensuring a near-painless experience without additional costs.
Our approach not only reduces anxiety but also minimises physical discomfort, allowing you to be relaxed throughout the procedure. This unique offering underscores our commitment to patient satisfaction and safety, setting us apart in healthcare excellence.

Our IUD Options
At GCA Sydney, we facilitate the insertion of both hormonal and non-hormonal copper Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). Please ensure you obtain your IUD through a prescription from your GP and have it dispensed by a pharmacy prior to your appointment. Both types are highly effective and reversible. For more detailed information, please visit our main IUD page.
What to Expect: The IUD Insertion Process
At GCA Sydney, we ensure that the IUD insertion process is both smooth and comfortable, incorporating sedation to facilitate a pain-minimised experience. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation and Procedure on the Same Day:
When you arrive at our clinic, your visit starts with a detailed consultation session where our doctor reviews the specific IUD you’ve brought, explains the insertion process, and discusses your sedation options. This is all done on the same day to streamline your experience. During the procedure, our skilled healthcare professionals, equipped with years of experience, will ensure you are comfortable and informed every step of the way.
Post-Procedure Care:
After the insertion, we provide comprehensive post-care instructions to ensure you are well-informed for your recovery and how you may manage post-insertion pain or discomfort. This guidance aims to support your recovery and ensure a smooth transition back to your daily activities.
Our goal is to make your IUD insertion as stress-free and pain-minimised as possible, with a focus on providing supportive care and clear communication throughout your time with us.
Preparing for Your IUD Insertion
To prepare for your IUD insertion, we recommend following these steps:
- You will be asked to fast for 6 hours (but you may have water ONLY up to 2 hours before procedure) as sedation requires it, so please follow the specific instructions provided during your pre-procedure consultation.
- Bring any relevant medical history documents to your appointment.
- Bring a friend or family member who can provide support and transportation home post-procedure as you cannot go home unaccompanied and cannot drive until the next day.
