IUD insertion is a procedure to place an intrauterine device (IUD) into the uterus for effective long-term contraception. During the procedure, your Eluvo OBGYN gently inserts the IUD through the cervix into the uterine cavity. This can typically be done in a clinic setting and takes only a few minutes. The IUD works by preventing fertilization and can remain in place for several years, depending on the type. While some discomfort may be experienced during insertion, many women find IUDs to be a convenient and reliable option for birth control, allowing for worry-free family planning. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to ensure the IUD remains properly positioned.
