The insertion and removal procedures for LARCs are typically performed by a healthcare provider:
IUD Insertion: The IUD is inserted through the cervix into the uterus during a brief in-office procedure. Some discomfort or cramping may occur. Implant Insertion: The implant is placed under the skin of the upper arm using a special applicator. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort. Removal: Both IUDs and implants can be removed at any time by a healthcare provider. Fertility typically returns quickly after removal.
