Contraceptive Counseling and IUCD Insertion
The right choice, made with the right guidance.
Choosing a contraceptive method is a personal decision that deserves informed, unhurried guidance.
At KidsHeart Medical Center, our gynecology services include Pap smear and HPV testing for women in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, delivered in a private, respectful clinical setting.
What Contraceptive Counselling Involves
Contraceptive counseling is a structured conversation between you and a gynecology specialist. It is not a prescription session. It is a chance to understand your options and make a decision based on your health, lifestyle, and future plans.
The methods we discuss and support include:
- Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs), both hormonal and copper
- Hormonal contraception including the pill, patch, and injection
- Barrier methods and their appropriate use
- Long-acting reversible contraception for women seeking extended coverage
- Options suited to women approaching perimenopause or with specific medical conditions
When Women Seek This Service
You do not need a specific reason to request contraceptive counseling. Women come to us when:
- They are starting contraception for the first time
- Their current method is causing side effects or is no longer suitable
- They want a longer-term option after completing their family
- They have a medical condition that limits certain contraceptive choices
- They want to understand which methods suit their future fertility plans
IUCD Insertion: What to Expect
IUCD insertion is a straightforward in-clinic procedure. For women considering this option, here is what it involves:
- Pre-insertion consultation to confirm suitability and discuss preferences
- Pelvic assessment to check uterine position and size
- Insertion appointment, typically completed within ten to fifteen minutes
- Brief post-insertion review to confirm correct placement
- Guidance on what to expect in the days following insertion
Most women return to normal activity the same day.

- No pressure toward any particular method
- IUCD insertion performed by experienced specialists in a clinical setting
- Follow-up support if you experience concerns after insertion
