If IUD Pain Is “So Common,” Why Don’t Doctors Take It Seriously? | EP. 80

Why are so many women screaming through IUD insertions... and being told it’s normal? In this episode of Pleasure Pathways, I’m sharing my own experience navigating the medical system to get an IUD—and asking the bigger question: If this pain is so common, why isn’t anyone doing more about it? We’ll dig into the lack of pain management, the privilege gap in reproductive healthcare, and why men are offered Valium for vasectomies while women are handed ibuprofen and told to “just breathe.” We’ll talk about how systemic misogyny, outdated research standards, and class bias all shape the care we receive—and why advocating for our bodies is often met with silence. This episode is personal, emotional, and absolutely necessary—because too many of us have been taught to be grateful for care that ignores our pain. And we’re not doing that anymore. Whether you love your IUD, hate it, or you’re somewhere in between—this conversation matters.
