The Mirena IUD is highly effective compared to copper IUDs or oral contraceptives. It can reduce heavy menstrual bleeding within three months and may stop periods altogether for some users. Mirena provides protection against pregnancy for 5-8 years and can be removed at any time by your GP/NP. For safe contraceptive surgery in Papamoa, book an appointment with your GP/NP.
Jadelle is a hormonal implant inserted just under the skin of the upper arm. It prevents pregnancy by stopping egg release and altering cervical mucus. Fertility resumes after removal. The insertion is performed under local anaesthetic by your GP/NP and may cause temporary bruising or swelling. For guidance on Jadelle contraceptive surgery in Papamoa, book a consultation with our experienced team.
We also provide other contraceptive Papamoa options and hormonal implants in Papamoa to suit your lifestyle and health needs.
Cervical cancer is largely preventable through regular screening. Palm Springs Medical Centre offers HPV screening in Papamoa for eligible patients.
From September 2023, cervical screening primarily uses the human papillomavirus (HPV) test, replacing the traditional smear test for most people. The test involves a simple vaginal swab that can be taken by a nurse, doctor, or self-collected.
If you have a cervix and are aged 25-69, you should have an HPV screen at least every five years. Free HPV and cervical screening is available to eligible patients. Finding HPV does not mean you have cancer; most infections resolve on their own. Our team will review results and provide guidance if any cervical changes are detected.
Menopause marks the years when the ovaries gradually produce fewer eggs and less oestrogen and progesterone. It is complete when periods have stopped for one year. This hormonal change can lead to physical and psychological symptoms.
Our doctors and nurses provide support and advice for managing symptoms, including discussions about menopause surgery in Papamoa and other treatment options tailored to your needs.
Palm Springs Medical Centre is one of the leading providers of women’s health services in Papamoa, offering expert care in pregnancy, contraception, HPV screening, and menopause support.
