Piercings and tattoos, I mean. Wouldn’t it be easy if we just applied anesthesia? I don’t know if there’s a reason why, but I do wanna know.
*Also, why isn’t anesthesia applied for IUD insertion?

In Canada- Anesthesia is actually used for people getting IUD insertions when other attempts have failed. For example, if the patient had been sedated with anti-anxiety medications such as Ativan but still pass out, after one or two attempts the gynaecologist may reschedule to do it in an OR with an anesthesiologist. It was easier to do this before Covid when hospitals were less stressed but is still done in extreme cases now.
