Frequently Asked Questions

Is IUD insertion painful?

You may experience mild, rapid cramps similar to menstrual cramps during the few seconds of insertion, but the procedure is generally very tolerable and quick.

When does the IUD start preventing pregnancy?

The copper IUD starts working immediately after insertion, while with the hormonal IUD it is preferable to wait or use an additional method for 7 days to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Can an IUD be used while breastfeeding?

Yes, the IUD is one of the best and safest methods for breastfeeding mothers, as it does not affect the hormones responsible for milk production.

Does the husband feel the IUD during intercourse?

No, the IUD is located entirely inside the uterus. The strings are very soft and wrap around the cervix, and if they are palpable, the doctor can shorten them so they disappear completely.

What are the signs that an IUD has slipped out of place?

Signs are rare, but may include sudden and severe pelvic pain, very heavy bleeding, or the sensation of part of the IUD coming out of the cervix; in these cases, you should see a clinic immediately.
