A member asked:
How long can i expect cramping from iud to last? (just had it inserted today.) is there anything else i can do besides heating pads and aleve (naproxen)? i hurt.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iud: Cramping can occur for the first few days after insertion. Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal analgesics (NSAIDS) can be used to reduce cramping in the first few days..
