Women face underprepared expectations for IUD procedures, potentially reducing contraceptive adoption rates and increasing demand for pain management solutions, anesthesia services, and alternative contraceptive methods. May increase healthcare costs through additional consultations and pain management interventions.
Healthcare regulators should mandate updated clinical guidelines reflecting actual pain prevalence; medical schools may need revised training protocols; health systems should implement standardized pain management protocols; potential liability concerns for providers; possible insurance coverage expansion for anesthesia/pain relief during IUD insertion.
