“We cannot yet say specifically when the review will be completed and we cannot make any statements about the changes. But pain relief from IUD placement is one of the topics to be reviewed,” says NHG with a point on the arm.

This spring, the procedure for placing an IUD was criticized by some women experience severe pain when installed. Currently, the Dutch guidelines only recommend naproxen and paracetamol for pain relief. Ava, the Dutch abortion and abortion consumer advocacy group, pointed this out to the group in an opinion piece of Volkskrant noting that naproxen and paracetamol have only limited effectiveness.

This month, the American health organization CDC changed the guidelines, which allows the use of some gels or sprays to reduce the pain.
