Insertion of an intrauterine device (Fleree) (device included)
The insertion of the Fleree intrauterine system is a medical procedure during which a small, T-shaped contraceptive device is placed inside the uterine cavity. This procedure provides a long-term, effective, and reversible method of contraception. The service price includes the cost of the Fleree IUS itself.
What is the Fleree intrauterine system?
Fleree is a hormonal intrauterine system that releases a small dose of levonorgestrel (a progestin) directly into the uterine cavity. This hormone acts locally by thickening the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, thinning the uterine lining, which reduces the likelihood of implantation of a fertilized egg, and impairing sperm motility. Fleree is smaller than some other hormonal intrauterine systems and may therefore be particularly suitable for women who have not previously given birth.
Who may benefit from Fleree insertion?
The Fleree intrauterine system is a contraceptive option for women who:
- Desire long-term, reliable contraception.
- Are looking for a reversible contraceptive method.
- Cannot use or prefer not to use estrogen-containing contraceptives.
- Experience heavy or painful menstrual periods, as a hormonal IUS may help reduce menstrual bleeding and pain.
- Prefer a contraceptive method that does not require daily attention.
Procedure at the Clinic:
The insertion of an intrauterine system is performed in a gynecology office.
- Consultation: A gynecologist evaluates the patient’s health status and medical history, discusses available contraceptive options, and determines the most appropriate method.
- Preparation: The patient is positioned on a gynecological examination chair. The cervix is then cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
- Insertion: The physician carefully inserts the Fleree IUS into the uterine cavity using a dedicated inserter. Mild discomfort or cramping may occur during the procedure.
- After the procedure: The patient is observed for a short period. Recommendations regarding post-insertion care and possible side effects are provided.
Expected Results:
The Fleree intrauterine system provides reliable, long-term contraception for up to five years. It is a highly effective method of preventing unintended pregnancy and may also contribute to an improved quality of life for many women.
