An IUD insertion is a medical procedure where a small, T-shaped device is placed inside the uterus to provide long-term contraception. The intrauterine device (IUD) can be either hormonal or copper-based, and it works by preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg. At Physicians for Women, we perform IUD insertions with precision and care, often using ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate placement. This procedure is a popular choice for women seeking an effective, low-maintenance birth control method.

During an IUD insertion at Physicians for Women, the healthcare provider will first review your medical history and perform a pelvic exam. The cervix is gently opened, and the IUD is inserted through a thin tube into the uterus. Ultrasound guidance may be used to visualize the uterus and ensure the IUD is positioned correctly. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and while some women may experience mild discomfort or cramping, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. After insertion, the provider will check the placement and provide aftercare instructions to ensure the IUD remains effective and comfortable.

An IUD insertion offers several benefits, including long-term contraception that can last between 3 to 10 years depending on the type of IUD. This method is highly effective, with a success rate of over 99%. It is also convenient, as it requires no daily attention and is reversible when you decide to conceive. At Physicians for Women, we ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, using ultrasound guidance to minimize risks and enhance accuracy. This advanced technique is particularly beneficial for women with complex uterine anatomy or those who have had previous unsuccessful IUD insertions.

Emotionally, knowing you have a highly effective form of contraception can provide peace of mind and allow you to focus on other aspects of your life. At Physicians for Women, our goal is to ensure you feel supported and informed throughout the process, making the experience as positive and comfortable as possible.

An ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of structures within the body. This technology is widely used in medical settings to monitor pregnancies, diagnose conditions, and guide certain procedures.
