Abstract
Many gynecological procedures induce a significant amount of pain to women undergoing them. Although painful, these procedures are critical to the health and wellness of these women; particularly, IUD insertion, colposcopy, and LEEP procedures. There are currently no standardized guidelines on pain management for these procedures. In this article, these three procedures will be discussed as well as some current forms of pain management in comparison to procedures in other specialities and their standards of care.
