How is the IUD inserted and what should I expect during the insertion process?

During an IUD insertion, a healthcare provider will insert a small T-shaped device into the uterus through the cervix. The process may cause cramping and discomfort, but it is usually quick and can be managed with pain medication. After insertion, some people may experience spotting or cramping for a few days. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns or complications.
