YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMillions of women across the U.S. use some form of contraception to prevent pregnancy and help with medical issues. One of the most popular forms is an IUD, a T-shaped intrauterine device slightly larger than a quarter that is inserted into the uterus.
Lately, IUDs have been going viral due to the pain associated with insertion, leading the CDC to issue new recommendations about how doctors can better treat the pain.
PBS News’ Ali Rogin asked Dr. Aaron Lazorwitz about what the different, wide-ranging pain management options says about the way that medicine science treats the pain of women and people with uteruses.
“It underplays that for too long we have been ignoring the pain that patients who need IUDs have been experiencing with these procedures,” Lazorwitz told Rogin.
