Discover More Comfort During Your IUD Insertion with Local Anesthesia

At our clinic, your comfort and well-being are at the forefront of our service. Providing the best care involves offering local anesthesia during the placement of intrauterine devices (IUDs), also known as intrauterine systems (IUS).

Why Choose Local Anesthesia for Your IUD/IUS Procedure?

  • Less Pain: It's common for more than half of women to feel discomfort or pain when getting an IUD/IUS, and some even describe it as extremely painful. Using local anesthesia can greatly reduce this discomfort, making the procedure easier.
  • Quick Relief: Injectable local anesthesia is a simple, safe, and fast solution. It starts working almost right away, so you'll feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use agents designed to be free of stinging and burning.
  • Saves Time: Surprisingly, using local anesthesia can save time. It helps prevent severe cervical pain, which reduces the chances of feeling dizzy or faint after the procedure, and that can make the whole process quicker.
  • Positive Experience: Our goal is to make your IUD/IUS insertion a pain-free and positive experience. When you have a comfortable experience, you're more likely to tell your friends and family, which helps more people learn about long-acting contraception options.
  • Your Choice Matters: We believe in patient-centered care. While we suggest using local anesthesia for a better experience, you can decide not to use it if you prefer. Your choices are respected.

Comparing Local Anesthesia to Alternatives

  • Gel vs. Anesthesia: Some people use a gel called lignocaine instead of anesthesia, but it takes 5-10 minutes to start working and is less effective, causing more discomfort during insertion. Local anesthesia is usually faster and works better.

Prioritizing Your Comfort

Our commitment to you is unwavering. Just like in modern dentistry where they use numbing medicine to make dental procedures painless, we believe that sexual health care should be just as comfortable. Your comfort is our top concern, and we're determined to minimize any unnecessary discomfort during your IUD/IUS insertion.

Our Proven Approach

In our clinic, we've made local anesthesia a regular practice during IUD/IUS insertion. This has resulted in a much more comfortable and pain-free experience for our valued patients.
