    I had epidurals for all my childbirths. I’ve had three IUD insertions, only one with ibuprofen. IUD insertion doesn’t hurt much at all either way. Just a moment of pinch & cramp then it’s fine. That has been my subjective experience.

      For you. Some women it’s much worse.

      Pain management should be offered depending on the patient’s individual needs and not because of some outdated idea that we feel less pain there.
