The contraceptive coil, or intrauterine device (IUD), is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a failure rate of less than 1% when properly placed. Most hormonal IUDs can remain effective for up to 5 years, while copper IUDs can last 10 years or more. After 5 years, it is important to consult a healthcare provider to discuss whether to replace it or consider other contraceptive options. Overall, the safety and effectiveness of the IUD remain high throughout its intended duration of use.

Should you leave the coil in any longer than 5 years?

Leaving a contraceptive coil (IUD) in longer than the recommended duration can increase the risk of complications, such as infection or displacement. Most types of IUDs are designed for effective use for 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding the appropriate timeframe for removal or replacement. If you have any concerns, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

What will happen if you leave your Mirena coil in too long?

you are advised to replace the mirena coil after 5 years, though they probably are effective a while longer than that. Leaving it in much longer, will reduce it's effectiveness. If it's left inside way too long, it can get stuck and be harder to remove. If left very long, it can cause blood loss and pain. Last year we removed a coil that had been in place 20 years. This patient complained about brown loss and pain. It is best to replace your coil after about 5 years to avoid problems with removal later, and guarantee it's optimal effectiveness.
