More pain relief options for IUD insertions
Manage episode 522869090 series 5409
For many women, getting an intra-uterine device (IUD) inserted is a painful and scary experience.
The level of pain relief offered can depend on the clinic and can be restricted by out-of-pocket costs the patient can’t afford.
A trial is underway in Victoria offering a free pain-relieving "green whistle" to public patients, after a state enquiry into women’s pain.
