OBJECTIVE: To explore (a). if @entity1337 taken before an intrauterine device (IUD) fitting actually lessens the discomfort of the fitting and (b). whether there is a relationship between @entity148 and choosing to take @entity158 relief before an IUD fitting. POPULATION: @entity1 having an IUD fitted in participating clinics in Leeds between 1 April and 31 July 2001. METHOD: Advice was given to @entity1 who were having an IUD fitted to take @entity1337 before they came to the clinic if they wished. The @entity1 completed a questionnaire at the time of fitting to record anticipated discomfort, actual discomfort and the use of @entity1337 before the fitting. A second questionnaire was sent to @entity1 6 months later. RESPONSE: A total of 109 @entity1 completed the first questionnaire and 54 completed the second questionnaire. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION: @entity1 who were more anxious and who anticipated that the procedure would be @entity158 , even if it was not as bad as expected at the time of the fitting, will recall that it was a @entity158 experience. Those who chose to @entity25515 before the procedure may identify this group of @entity1 . Higher @entity148 levels may contribute to the perceived discomfort.
