What to Expect During IUD Insertion?

IUD insertion is usually performed in a healthcare provider's office. The procedure involves several steps:
1. A pelvic exam is conducted to assess the position of the uterus.
2. A speculum is inserted to visualize the cervix.
3. The cervix is cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
4. A tenaculum may be used to stabilize the cervix.
5. The IUD is inserted through the cervical canal and into the uterine cavity using a special inserter.
6. The strings of the IUD are trimmed to an appropriate length.
