The doctor or nurse will examine you internally to check the position and size of the uterus before they put in an IUCD. Sometimes, they will check for any possibility of an existing infection. This can be done before or at the time of fitting IUCD.
You may also be given antibiotics at the same time during IUCD insertion. Fitting an |IUCD takes about 10-15 minutes. Once an IUCD is inserted it could be uncomfortable or painful for some women, and you might want to use a local anaesthetic. Your doctor or nurse should talk to you about this beforehand.
You may experience a period-type pain and light bleeding for a few days after the IUCD is fitted. Pain relieving drugs can help to reduce the pain.
