Can IUD Be Placed With Cervix Is Above Than Normal?

Hello Doctor, I am of 29yrs old and a mother of a 3 yr old. My husband is abroad and I am going to stay with him by Jan. We are not planning to have a second one until my kid is atleast 5. So I am looking for an opinion for having an IUD as we are not happy with condoms and scared of the side effects of pills. I consulted a doctor in my place and she says it is difficult for her to insert as the cervix is a bit above than usual and it would be very painful. I have read that this can also be done by giving local anaesthesia. I would like to have a second opinion on this.

Hi,

With good positioning, there usually is no difficulty in IUD insertion.

If I were your doctor,
To facilitate the procedure I would ask you to come for IUD insertion just after mensus.
I would advise you to take a tablet of Brufen 2 hours before IUD insertion. This would take care of possible discomfort.
I would ask you to pass urine just before the procedure and place you in lithotomy position and insert IUD.

There is no need for any local cervical anaesthesia. The prick of the local anaesthesia would cause same discomfort as inserting IUD. Brufen is enough to take care of the discomfort.
I hope this helps.
