Our findings suggested differences between the two IUDs tested, with higher pain associated with the LNG-IUS 52 mg, and highlights the need for pain management, mainly among nulligravida and women with history of caesarean delivery.SHORT CONDENSATIONIntense pain at insertion was more related to nulligravida than parous women and more pain with placement of LNG-IUS 52 mg IUDs than TCu380A IUDs. Nevertheless, our results confirmed that ease of IUD placement was between 80% to 90% of all insertions, being more common in parous women without previous caesarean delivery.
