Summary
Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is a procedure that can cause pain. Fear of pain during
IUD insertion is a barrier to use of this method. Currently, there is no recommended standard
method for reducing pain during this procedure. From Cochrane Database 2015, some lidocaine
formulations, such as lidocaine spray, lidocaine gel and lidocaine paracervical injection,
could reduce pain during IUD insertion, but there is limited data on effect of lidocaine
spray on reducing pain during insertion of IUD.
