What You Need to Know about IUD Insertion
The placement of an IUD is a fairly simple process, but it must be done by an experienced medical professional. As long as all goes well, the process takes only a few minutes and women are able to return to their normal routine as soon as it is completed. There may be a short adjustment period and in some cases, the body will take a few months to adjust to the hormonal fluctuations. Overall, the process is relatively easy and results in effective, long-term birth control.

If you have decided an IUD is right for you, your doctor will conduct a pelvic exam and take a pap test. Most doctors wait until the results of the pap before inserting the IUD. This ensures you are not currently pregnant and all is normal with the test. Your doctor will also ask you a few questions. Be sure you talk about any abnormal bleeding you experience, any previous experiences with IUDs, whether or not you have an STD, and if you experience heavy bleeding or painful periods. Your doctor may also inquire about your sexual partners. Some types of IUDs contain copper, so you will also want to let your doctor know if you have a copper allergy.

Placement of the IUD
The insertion procedure begins with the preparation of the genital area. Most women undergo a local anesthetic during placement, but this is optional. Placement of the IUD should feel similar to a pelvic exam. The cervix is opened with a speculum and an antiseptic solution is applied to the area. The device is folded into a tube shape and placed in the uterus. Once inside, it returns to its original T-shape. There is a string that attaches to the device that hangs into the vagina. Your doctor should coach you through feeling for the string so you can perform periodic inspections at home to ensure the device is in place.

Potential Problems
It is also important for women to understand the signs and symptoms associated with IUD problems. If pain or bleeding occurs, you should contact your doctor immediately. There could also be a problem or an infection if you experience unusual discharge from your vagina. It is also important to report any changes in the string. If you are unable to find it or it feels longer than usual, your IUD may have been expelled from the uterus. If this occurs the device is no longer effective for preventing pregnancy.
