At ARC Obstetrics/Gynecology (Ob/Gyn), your comfort and well-being are a top priority, and we offer a wide range of procedural pain relief options. All our Ob/Gyn clinics now offer nitrous oxide delivery by mask for in-office procedures like IUD insertions, colposcopies, LEEP procedures, endometrial biopsies, and more.
Nitrous oxide is inhaled as a gas and helps with pain and anxiety control. It is often recommended as a fast-acting pain relief solution that won't make you drowsy and has no downtime after a procedure. For procedures requiring pain relief, our care team will carefully review your medical history and consider your personal preferences to recommend the most appropriate option for you.
Nitrous oxide is not covered by insurance, so we charge a separate fee of $100 at the time of the visit. We also continue to offer other pain relief options like ibuprofen, topical lidocaine, and paracervical blocks, which are covered by most health plans. To find what pain relief solution works best for you, speak with an ARC Ob/Gyn specialist.
