Interventions
Vulsellum group
The patients are asked to empty the bladder before IUD insertion. The vulsellum is applied on the cervix, sounding of the uterus is done and the IUD is inserted according to the standard technique of IUD insertion. Pain intensity is assessed after the procedure using a visual analogue scale.
Ultrasound group
During the two hour period before IUD insertion, the patients are asked to drink about one liter of water and to avoid micturition. Abdominal ultrasound is used to obtain a sagittal view of the uterus and the IUD is introduced into the uterine cavity under ultrasound guidance. The vulsellum and uterine sound are not used during IUD insertion. Pain intensity is assessed after the procedure using a visual analogue scale..
