Not Just A Pinch:
Pain relief is not a luxury,
it is a right!
Having an Intrauterine Device (IUD) placed is not a painless procedure. It is uncomfortable at best, painful for most, and traumatizing for some. Currently, there are no standardized practice guidelines for evaluating and planning for pain management during the insertion of an IUD in British Columbia.
We know everyone experiences pain differently. There is a long-standing and systemic minimization of the pain experienced by individuals undergoing gynecological experiences. The good news is that there are many options to minimize the pain associated with this procedure!
We are in the process of refining our ask and position in light of the most recent BC provincial election. Please sign up for action updates to learn more about the next steps in our pain management campaign.
