Some doctors will use an intracervical block - this is an injection that will numb the cervix so that the patient does not feel the pain of dilation/insertion. It also reduces the cramping many women feel afterwards!

What is an IUD insertion?
IUD insertion is a form of birth control available to people looking to avoid getting pregnant. The most common type of IUD is a copper IUD which acts as a spermicide when in the uterus.
How painful to remove a 10 year IUD?
The sensation of IUD removal is a lot like that for IUD insertion, but much briefer. Instead of inserting both the sound (measurer) and insertor for the insertion, there's a single cramp as the IUD is removed.
Is the cost of the IUD included in the insertion code?
No, the separate J code should be added to the claim for an IUD insertion. The device is not included in the insertion procedure code. (The same is true for the contraceptive implant as well).

What happens when you have not had your IUD checked in mouths?
Regular IUD checks are not necessary. Typically you get checked just once after insertion.
Is the copper IUD inserted in an operation theater?
No, IUD insertion is an in-office procedure and does not require a special operating room.
How is the IUD removed?
The IUD is removed in the office by grasping the strings and pilling slowly, gently, and firmly until the IUD comes out. No anesthesia or special medication is required.
How bad does IUD insertion actually hurt?
IUD insertion pain can vary from person to person. Unfortunately, there is not a great drug to take to make insertion less painful. You can try taking ibuprofen beforehand the insertion and make sure you get the IUD inserted when your cervix is open, such as when you are on your period or ovulating. Even if there is some pain, it might be worth it for years of pregnancy-free sex.

What if you never went back for a post exam after getting an IUD?
If you didn't have your post-insertion check, it's not the end of the world. The post-insertion follow-up is a way to check that there's no pelvic pain or tenderness that might mean infection, to make sure the patient is satisfied with any changes in bleeding after the IUD, and to ensure that the IUD was not expelled soon after the insertion. It's not too late to have the post-insertion exam now.
Can the IUD cause PID?
The IUD itself does not increase the risk of PID. If a woman has chlamydia or gonorrhea at the time of insertion, the risk of PID is increased.
Where are Intrauterine contraceptive devices placed?
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are inserted into the uterus
How long are the IUD strings?
The strings on an IUD are very long when it is removed from the package. After insertion of the IUD, a health care provider typically trims the strings so that they're about 3-4 cm long measuring from the opening of the cervix.
