    My wife got repeated infections and had a lot of pain from the copper iud.

    If you go looking for testimonials you’ll find numerous people who had bad experiences with it.

    Also, they really should offer anesthetic or at least a powerful painkiller for the insertion and removal procedures. Doctors act like it’s no big deal, but it’s very painful.

      Yet another case of the medical industry not caring one iota about women and women’s ability to identify what is going on with their own bodies. The number of times I’ve heard of doctors dismissing women’s pain and issues makes me want to scream.
