Recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists outline a range of pain management options for routine procedures.

    There’s not a whole lot that can be done about that besides giving the patient some Midol and a day off work to rest.

    So just shrug and give a midol? Like we don’t have plenty of other effective, targeted pain relief that would 100% be given to a man who was going to be given an incredibly painful procedure? Especially if that procedure were routinely given to men.

            I don’t propose it. The CDC proposed it. And I’m sure they also have proposed application. I do propose doctors follow CDC recommendations.

      We actually don’t have much in the way of pain relief besides NSAIDs (of which Midol is one), local anesthesia (which I believe is not indicated for IUD insertion), and opioids (I’m sure you’ve heard of those in the news).

        That’s some real great condescending language there. I think I can guess what’s between your legs lol. The CDC recommends lidocaine as a local anaesthetic. Themoreyouknow.jpg.
