Contraceptive Placement in Bogotá: Copper IUD, Mirena and Jadelle

Choosing a contraceptive method is a personal decision that depends on your age, medical history, needs, reproductive plans and personal preferences. There is no single contraceptive method that is perfect for every woman.

Dr. Karin Franco, a gynecologist in Bogotá, provides consultation and placement of different contraceptive methods, including the copper IUD, Mirena and Jadelle, helping each patient understand their characteristics and choose the most appropriate option for her.

What contraceptive methods does Dr. Karin Franco provide?

Dr. Karin Franco currently provides placement of three contraceptive options:

• Copper IUD.
• Mirena.
• Jadelle.

Each method works differently and has specific characteristics regarding duration, hormones, menstrual bleeding and how it is used.

Copper IUD: a hormone-free contraceptive

The copper IUD is a device placed inside the uterus that provides long-term contraception without using hormones.

It may be an option for women who prefer to avoid hormonal contraceptives and are looking for a long-lasting birth control method.

One of its main advantages is that, once properly placed, it does not require daily attention or remembering to take a contraceptive.

Mirena: long-acting hormonal contraception

Mirena is an intrauterine device that releases levonorgestrel, a hormone that acts primarily inside the uterus.

In addition to its contraceptive function, it can change menstrual bleeding and reduce the amount of menstrual flow in some women.

It is a long-acting contraceptive option and may be particularly interesting for patients who want contraception and experience heavy menstrual bleeding, although every case should be evaluated individually.

Jadelle: contraceptive implant

Jadelle is a contraceptive implant placed under the skin of the arm that gradually releases a hormone.

It is an option for women who want a long-acting contraceptive method without having a device placed inside the uterus.

The implant is placed through a simple procedure and can be removed when the patient decides to change methods or wishes to become pregnant.

Which contraceptive method is best for me?

This is one of the most important questions, and there is no single answer.

The ideal contraceptive method depends on factors such as:

• Age.
• Medical history.
• Gynecological history.
• Menstrual pattern.
• Previous pregnancies.
• Pregnancy plans.
• Preference for hormonal or non-hormonal methods.
• Tolerance to possible side effects.
• How long you wish to prevent pregnancy.

During your consultation, Dr. Karin Franco can explain the differences between the copper IUD, Mirena and Jadelle to help you make an informed decision.

How is contraceptive placement performed?

The procedure depends on the contraceptive method selected.

The copper IUD and Mirena are placed inside the uterus through a gynecological procedure performed during a medical appointment. The procedure is usually brief, although each patient's experience may vary.

Jadelle is placed under the skin of the arm using local anesthesia and a small incision.

Before placement, Dr. Karin Franco evaluates the patient to determine whether the selected method is appropriate and explains recommendations for before and after the procedure.

Does IUD placement hurt?

The experience varies from woman to woman. Some patients experience discomfort or cramping during placement, while others may experience greater discomfort.

Dr. Karin Franco explains how the procedure is performed and what you can expect during placement.

If you are concerned about pain, it is important to discuss this during your consultation so you can receive appropriate recommendations.

How long do these contraceptive methods last?

The duration depends on the specific contraceptive method and product used.

The copper IUD, Mirena and Jadelle are long-acting contraceptive methods, but they are not considered permanent. They can be removed when a woman decides to change methods or wishes to become pregnant.

The exact duration should be confirmed according to the specific device or implant used and the manufacturer's recommendations.

How much does contraceptive placement cost in Bogotá?

The cost depends on the contraceptive method selected. As a reference, prices may vary depending on the device, procedure and whether the medical consultation is included:

• Copper IUD: from COP $500,000.
• Mirena: from COP $1,500,000.
• Jadelle: from COP $1,800,000.

The final cost should be confirmed before the procedure, as it may vary depending on whether the price includes the contraceptive device, placement, gynecological consultation and follow-up appointments.

Dr. Karin Franco can guide you during your consultation regarding the most appropriate contraceptive method for you and its corresponding cost.

When can I have a contraceptive method placed?

The appropriate time depends on the method selected, your menstrual cycle, recent medical history and the possibility of pregnancy.

For this reason, it is not recommended to choose a contraceptive method solely based on a friend's or family member's recommendation. A gynecological consultation can help confirm that there are no contraindications and determine the appropriate time for placement.
