Mirena

Shannon

At Flynn Medical Centre in Shannon, Co. Clare, we offer professional consultation and placement of the all forms of contraception including IUDs/coils. Since the introduction of the free contraceptive government scheme, the placement of IUDs is becoming much more popular. Both copper and hormonal coils are a long-term contraceptive option that are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. The Mirena and Kyleena coils are both small, T-shaped device placed in the uterus, where it slowly releases progestin to thicken cervical mucus, thin the uterine lining, and partially suppress ovulation. They provide protection for between five and eight years, making IUDs an excellent option for those looking for a low-maintenance, reversible form of birth control. Many also choose Mirena for its additional benefits, such as lighter periods, reduced menstrual pain, and relief from conditions like endometriosis and fibroids.

Our clinic is located in Shannon, a vibrant and easily accessible town just 20 minutes from both Ennis and Limerick, with free on-site parking for your convenience. Whether you’re considering Mirena for contraception or for managing heavy or painful periods, our experienced team can guide you through the process with a personalised consultation and safe, efficient insertion.

If you are considering having a Mirena coil placed, or interested in learning more about what form of contraception is suitable for you book your appointment today. If your own GP is not in a position to offer this service, we are happy to see you in our own surgery in Shannon.
