Before the day of the appointment for the IUD insertion, you should consider the following recommendations to be prepared for the consultation:

• It is important to remember that the IUD device is not included in the fixed price of this medical procedure, and that you must purchase it at the pharmacy with your medical prescription before the day of the appointment.
• Likewise, you must ensure that you purchase the IUD model prescribed by the gynaecologist and do not acquire another model or brand.
• Do not open the box containing the IUD, which comes protected and sealed to guarantee its absolute sterility.
• The IUD does not require refrigeration, but it is important to keep it at room temperature and not expose it to high temperatures or direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry place until the day of the appointment.
• Do not forget to take it with you on the day of the appointment, as otherwise the medical procedure cannot be performed.

On the agreed day with the Clínica San Juan Écija| for the IUD insertion, you attend the gynaecology consultation where the procedure will be performed:

1. Before starting, you are provided with a gown and asked to lie comfortably on a gynaecological examination table. the Clínica San Juan Écija first carries out a visual and manual examination of the vagina and uterus.
2. They then proceed to place the speculum to keep the vagina open and clearly visualise the cervix.
3. After completing the examination, the specialist cleans the cervix with an antiseptic solution to disinfect it.
4. A uterine sound, a measuring instrument called a hysterometer, is introduced to help the gynaecologist measure the size and depth of the uterus.
5. Following the examination and measurement of the cervix, the IUD device is inserted into the uterus. The IUD is introduced using an applicator tube that helps slide the instrument through the cervix; once inside, the arms of the device deploy so that it sits in a T-shape at the top of the uterus. The applicator tube is then removed.
6. Finally, the IUD guide threads that hang outside the vagina after the insertion of the device are cut. The specialist leaves about 2 centimetres of thread protruding from the cervix so that the device can be removed when the time comes. With this final step, the speculum is removed.
7. The gynaecologist performs a gynaecological ultrasound to confirm that the IUD is in the correct position. Once everything is verified to be in order, the procedure finishes.

During the IUD insertion process, you may experience a sharp but brief pain, like a cramp similar to those suffered during periods.
In some cases, the gynaecologist may apply a local anaesthetic to the cervix, and in other cases, they recommend taking an analgesic before coming to the hospital for the treatment.

The insertion procedure for an IUD device lasts approximately between 5 and 10 minutes.

The removal of the IUD device is a simple and quick process:

1. Once you are prepared on the examination table, the specialist first places the speculum to keep the vagina open.
2. The specialist locates the threads attached to the device that were left protruding from the cervix.
3. They proceed to remove the IUD by gripping the threads with forceps and gently pulling them.
4. The IUD folds up and slides out through the cervix.
