How is the coil fitted it n does it hurt?

Answer 1

I HAVE HAD TERRIBLE TROUBLE HAVING THE COIL FITTED, THE FIRST TIME IT HURT SO MUCH I COULDN'T HAVE IT FITTED, APPARENTLY MY CERVIX WENT INTO +++SPASMS WHILST IT WAS BEING MEASURED.
WHEN I HAD ONE FITTED ANOTHER TIME I HAD TO TAKE NEUROFEN FOR A WEEK AND WAS GOING BACK TO MY DR'S TO ASK FOR IT TO BE REMOVED WHICH HE REFUSED. PROBABLY AS IT WAS THE MARENA COIL WHICH IS EXPENSIVE.
I DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO HAVE A COIL FITTED.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DIFFERENT I FELT WHEN I EVENTUALLY GOT IT REMOVED.

It's fitted in your womb whilst your cervix is clamped open. Its an uncomfortable procedure especially if you haven't had children and should be done under local anaesthetic or in some cases may be done in day surgery under general anaesthetic. The Family Planning Association give quite a good guide to coils - or IUDs as they are known - see link at end. What they don't seem to say however is that the coil can make periods much worse and its unlikely a coil will be fitted if you haven't had children....that is unless you are looking at the mirena coil which is an entirely different story, in which case the second link might be of interest to you. Reducing pain and discomfort of chronic dismenorhhea (chronic period pains) this coil has been welcomed by many and is a better alternative to the pill for combining contraception with menstrual control. Do read the articles as there is an increased risk of pelvic infection and there are a lot of dos and don'ts, but then what doesn't come without them? Finally, talk with your nurse or doctor and your partner; if you are planning children in the next 3-5 years you are highly unlikely to be an appropriate patient for a coil.

The coil is fitted in the same way you would have a smear test. You lie down on the doctors couch and they insert the metal prong things to be able to see your cervix. It is a similar feeling as to having a smear test... maybe like a slight dull scratch. It does not hurt when they are putting it in but when you get home you will have like a period pain. I noticed that for the first 6 months my periods were slightly heavier and the first day was more painful, but after that it was a breeze! The best thing i have ever done regarding contraception!

Answer 4

The coil is not for everyone. I think it either hurts all the time or you dont feel a thing. Its a hit or a miss. You should give it a try though, its very good at its job. If it hurts its easy enough to come out.

Answer 5

It starts out as a smear or swab would, you know the usual open your legs and say 'ahhh', they may give you a pain reliever beforehand, from there they swab your cervix with antiseptic, they insert a probe through your cervix, load the IUD into a tube and insert it into your cervix, they then pull out the tube and trim the steams.

Pain is different for everyone, I have met a lot of women who have experienced a lot of pain, I however had no problems. When they inserted the probe/tube it hurt, they ask you to cough, and I didn't cough hard enough. Other than that I didn't find it painful at all and found it more than a little annoying when they made me lay down with my *** out for ten minutes because they didn't believe that it didn't cause me pain.

Answer 6

It is fitted within a coil strap and the high and low voltage leads are connected to it. It can hurt if you get a belt off it but if you wear gloves when its live you should be ok.














Very nice man

Answer 7

You go through the same process as having a smear. You sit with your legs open, knees touching, the doc inserts a speculum. They put the coil in with a device thinggy, it doesnt hurt at all, its a bit strange having a docs hands in there though!!
It hurt me more having it taken out.

Answer 8

Nope doesn't hurt, it fitted the way you'd expect it to be, up the ya know what I'm saying.

Answer 9

it feels a bit like having a smear
