Insertions:
About Copper IUD insertions — Copper IUDs are a popular choice as they are said to contain no hormones and are effective contraceptives.
Is IUD insertion a safe procedure ? — Generally, yes, especially when performed by trained healthcare providers. Consult a medical professional for more details.
After an IUD insertion — Women can feel slight pain when the IUD is inserted but this quickly goes away. After the insertion of an IUD, most women feel like they are having a period with light bleeding and maybe some cramps. Periods can be heavier and longer after the insertion, but this will improve after the first 3 months.
Consult your doctor — Consider scheduling a follow-up appointment within 4 to 6 weeks post-insertion to ensure that the IUD is properly positioned.
