Is it painful to get an Intrauterine Device?!


Question: Is it painful to get an Intrauterine Device!?
I was considering getting one of them, and I was wondering if anyone who has had one can tell me if it's painful when they put it in and if you are conscious while it's being put in!.
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The amount of pain you feel during IUD placement depends on whether or not you have had a baby!. Women who have not had a baby have a much smaller cervical os (the opening in your cervix)!. This makes IUD placement more difficult and often more painful!. I have never had a baby and my IUD placement was pretty painful!. You are conscious during the procedure (it only takes a few minutes)!. They usually have you take a dose of Motrin before the procedure to help with any cramping you might feel!.

I had done some research prior to my IUD placement and had read that "you may feel faint or pass out during the procedure"!. I wasn't sure what that meant but I do now! But I didn't pass out, and the pain didn't last long - less than a minute!. It was totally worth it!. I love my IUD!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on the person how much it hurts!. When i had mind put in i fainted!. and yes it hurt!. they told me to cough out the pain, ya right ! It was like early stages of labor(cervix is manually dilated just a tiny tiny bit)!. the only good thing is that it is very quick! just takes like 5 seconds!. They would never give you anesthesia for that!. Just a motrin!. and in resopnse to an answer above, i have had a baby, a 9 1/2 lb baby to be exact, and getting the iud was just as painfull

About a month ago I started to feel Bad Bad Bad cramp like pain!.
I had the paragaurd/no hormone it worked great for 2 yrs then!.!.!.!.one day it started to hurt in my left ovari!.!.!.!.!.I was rushed to the ER with a severe infection!. I have never had a std and i had the same partner the whole time but!.!.!.!.my body didnt want it in there, !. Anyway it was scary staying over night 2 nights in the hospital tests and bloodwork and ultrasounds!.!.!.!.vomiting and cramping! ugh, just go on the nouva ring or take a pill!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it's very painful but over quickly!. Ask your Dr!. for a pain medication to take before you go and try to get someone to drive you!. It's worth the pain though!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
