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.
