May 19, 2020 updated by: Ahmed Mohamed Abbas, Assiut University

Intrauterine device can cause pain and discomfort in several ways: Use of the tenaculum to grasp the cervix and straighten the uterus for proper insertion; trans-cervical actions including measuring uterine depth, inserting the insertion tube, and removing the tube; and placement of the device in the uterus.
