ProNox with IUD insertion

Hey ladies.

Anyone ever use ProNox while you are having your iud inserted?

I’d love any experience you could share.

ProNox corresponds to a gaseous mixture of equal parts of nitrous oxide (N2O) and oxygen (O2).

It is known as "laughing gas"

It acts as a depressant of the central nervous system, with a dose-dependent effect. Its anesthetic power is weak. It acts by increasing the pain threshold and provides very little muscle relaxation. Its onset of action is rapid, as is its elimination when administration is stopped.

In France, this mixture is sometimes used in dentistry but there is no study in the literature on its interest in gynecology.

We can consider that the patient can be brought into a euphoric state and be less receptive to pain but we must be very precise on the dosage and be wary of side effects.

I therefore think that outside of an intervention within a hospital structure, use in a private practice is not recommended
