Cervical Screening and Preventive Care
Regular cervical screening is an important part of preventive healthcare. At Brisbane City Doctors, cervical screening appointments are available with our GPs and are conducted according to current Australian clinical guidelines.
Your doctor can also coordinate cervical screening as part of a broader preventive health plan, alongside routine health assessments offered through our health assessments and checks service.
Menopause and Midlife Health
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect physical and emotional wellbeing. Our doctors provide consultations focused on understanding symptoms, reviewing overall health, and discussing evidence-based management options.
Menopause care is often provided alongside broader chronic disease prevention and monitoring, which may include reviews offered through our chronic disease management services where appropriate.

FAQs About Contraception, Implanon, and IUD Removal
Is the contraceptive implant suitable for everyone?
The contraceptive implant is not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on your medical history, current health, medications, and personal preferences. A GP consultation is required to assess whether it is an appropriate option for you.
How long does the Implanon implant last?
Implanon is designed to provide contraception for several years. Your GP will confirm how long it is suitable for your individual situation and when removal or replacement should be planned.
Does Implanon insertion hurt?
Implanon insertion is performed using a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Most patients describe the procedure as brief, with some pressure rather than pain. Mild bruising or tenderness may occur afterwards and usually settles within a few days.
What side effects can occur with the contraceptive implant?
Side effects vary between individuals. Some people experience changes to their menstrual bleeding, such as spotting or irregular periods, while others may notice mood changes, headaches, or breast tenderness. Your GP will explain what to expect and when to seek review.
Can Implanon be removed early?
Yes. Implanon can be removed at any time if clinically appropriate. Reasons for early removal may include side effects, personal preference, or planning pregnancy. This can be discussed during your consultation.
What happens after Implanon removal?
After removal, hormonal levels gradually return to baseline. Menstrual cycles may change, and fertility can return soon after removal for some people. If pregnancy prevention is still required, your GP will discuss alternative contraception options.
Is IUD removal painful?
IUD removal is usually a quick procedure. Some patients experience mild cramping or discomfort during removal, which typically resolves shortly afterwards. Your GP will explain the process and provide guidance if symptoms occur.
Can I switch contraception methods at the same appointment?
In some cases, it is possible to remove an implant or IUD and start another form of contraception during the same visit. This depends on your medical history and the method chosen, and should be discussed with your GP.
Do I need a consultation before booking an Implanon insertion?
Yes. A consultation is required before Implanon insertion to ensure it is safe and suitable for you. This may involve reviewing your health history and discussing alternative options if needed.
Can I discuss contraception via telehealth first?
An initial discussion may be suitable via telehealth GP appointments in some cases. However, insertion and removal procedures must be performed in the clinic.
