Shauna GMThe CDC is updating its guidelines to recommend pain management for IUD insertion, and apparently it's in part thanks to Tiktok?
It is, in retrospect, horrifying that doctors haven't already been doing this.
I attempted to get an IUD twice and both times had to call the procedure off because it was too excruciating to continue. At no point did my doctor offer me any kind of pain meds. I gave up and just kind of assumed other women were stronger than me.
