Long-acting contraception at Metta Medical
Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is among the most effective ways to prevent pregnancy, and once in place it requires little day-to-day attention. The two main options are the IUD, a small device placed in the uterus, and the contraceptive implant, a thin rod placed under the skin of the upper arm. Both are reversible and can be removed whenever you choose.
Who provides each service
- IUD insertion — performed by Dr Anu Soul. Please book your initial consultation directly with Dr Soul, as she will both assess you and carry out the insertion.
- Contraceptive implant — available with Dr Anu Soul, Dr Hein Kyaw and Dr Khin Kyaw.
Why an initial consultation comes first
Before any insertion, you have a consultation with the doctor who will perform the procedure. This lets your doctor talk through which method suits your health, lifestyle and plans, answer your questions, and explain what to expect on the day and afterwards. The insertion is then booked as a separate appointment. Booking the consult with the procedure doctor avoids being referred between doctors and keeps your care with one clinician.
What to expect
An implant is placed in the upper arm using local anaesthetic and takes only a few minutes. An IUD insertion is a short procedure done in the clinic; your doctor will explain the steps, how to manage any cramping, and when to seek advice. Both methods provide contraception for several years depending on the type, and your doctor will confirm the duration of the option chosen for you.
