Clinical Recommendations for Improved IUD Experiences for Patients

Intrauterine devices are excellent treatment options for contraceptive and non-contraceptive benefits across the lifespan. Within this webinar, Dr. Deborah Bartz discussed 1) negative IUD messaging and myths patients may hold when considering this method as a treatment choice, 2) ways to contextualize these concerns with patients during clinical decision-making conversations, and 3) effective options to mitigate potential negative experiences with IUDs, with a special emphasis on considerations surrounding pain control with IUD insertion.
