A member asked:

Will an iud hurt for someone with endometriosis who has never given birth before?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A little: It is normal to have some cramping with insertion of an IUD. In the long run, a progesterone IUD typically decreases the pain from endometriosis, but only in some women.
