Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I get an appointment in Glasgow?
We often have same-day or next-day appointments available. You can book instantly online or by calling our clinic.
How long does the procedure take?
Implant fitting or removal usually takes less than 15 minutes. Coil fitting takes slightly longer, typically around 20–30 minutes, including preparation and aftercare advice.
Does it hurt to have an implant or coil fitted?
Both procedures are usually well tolerated. The implant is inserted under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Coil fitting can cause some cramping, similar to period pains, but this usually settles quickly.
When will the contraception start working?
Implant: If fitted during the first 5 days of your cycle, it works immediately. Otherwise, additional contraception (e.g. condoms) is advised for 7 days.
Coil: Copper coil works straight away. Hormonal coils (IUS) work immediately if fitted in the first 7 days of your cycle, or after 7 days if fitted later.
Can I have an old implant or coil removed and a new one fitted at the same time?
Yes. In most cases, removal and reinsertion can be done during the same appointment, ensuring continuous protection.
What are the side effects?
Implant: Periods may become lighter, irregular, or stop. Some women may notice skin changes, mood changes, or breast tenderness.
Coil: The copper coil can make periods heavier or more painful, especially in the first few months. Hormonal coils often make periods lighter, and some women stop bleeding altogether.
When can I return to normal activities?
Most people can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. You may have some mild bruising or cramping, but this usually settles within a day or two.
How soon can I get pregnant after removal?
Fertility usually returns very quickly after both implant and coil removal — often within a month.
Is the service confidential?
Yes. All consultations and treatments at MedAssistant are confidential, discreet, and carried out by qualified clinicians.
