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.
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.

What painkiller do we have evidence for being more effective other than possibly acetaminophen that isn’t an opiate or won’t come with other problems?
Lidocaine
And how do you propose that gets used?
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.
