Frequently Asked Questions

Is IUD insertion painful?

The IUD insertion process usually causes only mild discomfort, not significant pain. The doctor will perform the procedure gently and may use pain relief medication if needed. Some women may experience mild cramping for 1-2 days after insertion.

How long does a contraceptive implant last?

The contraceptive implant is effective for 3-5 years depending on the type. The contraceptive effectiveness is over 99%. It can be removed at any time when you wish to become pregnant, and fertility returns quickly.

How soon after delivery can I get an IUD?

An IUD can be inserted 6-8 weeks after a vaginal delivery, or at the time of a cesarean section. Your doctor will advise on the most appropriate timing based on your individual health condition.

What is the safest contraceptive method?
