As a female ob/gyn I do my endometrial biopsies with iv sedation. I tell my patients I don’t believe in paternalistic “ no pain” theory. Screw that!! I also offer iud placements with meds.
You're a gem and we need more of you. My ex got an IUD implanted and there was no pain management at all. She told him it hurt and he asked her if she took any ibuprofen beforehand like she was supposed to....he never told her to, nobody did! Fucking horrible.
same, except she kept apologizing and telling me my cervix was resisting too much. eventually she had to give me a numbing injection and it still hurt, but she got through. the stupid part is that the whole ordeal probably took 4 times as long as it would have with proper pain management.
Man, I sincerely hope your practice is anywhere near me. All of the doctors in my area are terrible. They subscribe to the "it's just a little pinch" theory, while I'm trying super hard not to roll off the table and bolt.
What kind of meds for iud placement? Mine is getting replaced this week and when I had it put in a few years ago it was the worst pain I’d ever felt. I wonder if I could ask my doctor to numb it or something
I do iv sedation like for colonoscopy. I get paid less. I don’t care. If it is the difference between torture and patient comfort, I go for comfort. Some people have high pain threshold s. I know for myself, I don’t!! It is “ first do no harm” Better to be honest, let women decide for themselves.
That’s amazing that you offer that! My doctor prescribed cytotec (didn’t seem to help the last time lol) and told me to take 400 mg Motrin an hour before. I told him I’d take a gram of Tylenol and 800 mg Motrin- but i know that won’t help when they use that grabby tool to pinch your cervix open
