[quote=Anonymous]My teen had very bad period cramps for years, and we tried pretty much everything.  She ended up with a Kyleena IUD and it has helped a lot, and it's been a couple of years and she's in college now.  The Kyleena lasts five years.

However; an issue keeps coming up. The insersion really hurt her.  I was there, holding her hand, and I felt her hand go hot and she got sweaty and gasped.  She started shaking and after the doctor left the room, she cried a little.  She maintains that it was one of the most painful things in her entire life.

This comes up a lot.  She is terrified about the removal in a few years.  The removal is not supposed be as bad because of the way it is shaped.  I thought she'd get over it, but she has not.  I was facetiming her yesterday, and she brought it up in passing about how she thinks she needs to see a therapist because (among other things), her fear about the IUD removal.

She has mentioned in the past how maybe the removal could be under anesthesia.  At the time I just thought that was so...extra.  Not to mention the cost. But after last night, I'm thinking that I haven't taken her fear seriously.  People get put out to get their teeth done, so, why not?

Does anyone know if this is a procedure?[/quote]
