The green whistle (Penthrox) is now available at 20 Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Hubs, across the state, including Primary Care Connect in Shepparton. The fast acting and dignified pain management option is available for free for IUD insertions and removal.
The State Government rollout follows the release of Victoria’s landmark Inquiry into Women’s Pain, which highlighted the near-universal experience of significant or severe pain during IUD procedures. For more information, visit betterhealth.vic.gov.au/sexual-and-reproductive-health-hubs.
