IUD removal in Carindale, done on-site.
IUD removal in Carindale is done on-site by our GPs, with time set aside so the appointment never feels rushed. If you're continuing with an IUD, we can usually replace it in the same visit.
IUD removal when your device has expired
It’s easy to lose track of when an IUD went in, and many patients only realise it has expired years later. The good news is that an expired IUD can usually be removed just as easily as one still in date. At Carindale Doctors, our GPs remove expired and overdue IUDs onsite and help you work out what to do next.
If your device is past its use-by date, it may no longer protect you from pregnancy, so your GP may suggest a pregnancy test before removal. From there, we can insert a new device, start a different method or support your plans for a family. Removal is quick, usually just a few minutes within a 15 to 20 minute appointment.
In short: Carindale Doctors removes expired, overdue and in-date IUDs onsite inside Westfield Carindale. Your GP checks whether you need a pregnancy test, removes the device and helps you choose a replacement or new method. Medicare rebates apply where eligible, and children 16 and under are bulk billed.

No need to travel for IUD removal
Because our GPs in Carindale are trained in IUD procedures, you don’t need a referral to a gynaecologist for a routine removal. Most removals are completed in our treatment room with no special preparation.
More about the procedure is on our main IUD removal page.
When IUD removal needs extra help
Most IUDs come out easily, but a few situations need more planning:
- Missing strings: the strings may have moved up into the cervix.
- Moved device: an ultrasound can confirm the IUD's position.
- Very old devices: older IUDs may need extra care to remove.
- Previous difficult insertion: let us know so we can plan accordingly.
If removal isn’t possible in the clinic, we’ll refer you to a specialist service.
