intrauterine device (iud) placement

How is an IUD Placed?

The IUD placement procedure is typically performed in a gynecologist's office. Here are the steps involved:
1. Preparation: The patient may be advised to take pain relief medication before the procedure. The gynecologist will perform a pelvic exam to determine the size and position of the uterus.
2. Insertion: Using a speculum to open the vagina, the gynecologist cleanses the cervix with an antiseptic solution. A special inserter is used to place the IUD through the cervix into the uterus.
3. Final Check: The strings of the IUD are trimmed, and the gynecologist ensures proper placement.
