Amid increasing attacks on abortion rights and women’s healthcare, women need birth control more than ever. The Pill can leave a long string of side effects, so the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the IUD. But getting an IUD inserted is an extremely painful and invasive procedure.
New CDC guidelines recommend that healthcare providers give women lidocaine shots for pain relief when they get an IUD. But this shot itself can hurt more than the IUD insertion. So, many places like Planned Parenthood just tell women to take ibuprofen.
Women’s pain is just not a priority in this society.
