Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we put your health first. It’s our mission to help you make informed decisions about your reproductive health. We understand that every woman has unique needs and preferences, which is why we offer a range of Hormonal Contraceptives, including the pill, patch, vaginal ring or injectables. Hormonal methods regulate your menstrual cycle and can even alleviate some symptoms associated with periods such as acne and PMS.
When it comes to Birth Control options for Burnham women seeking simple-to-manage yet highly effective choices; Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) should be considered. These include devices like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants that work for an extended period without requiring frequent attention. LARCs are not only convenient but also offer efficacy rates above 99% in preventing pregnancy.
Some women in Burnham prefer non-hormonal birth control methods due to lifestyle choices or specific health conditions. The Womens Health Group Chicago specializes in providing tailored barrier method contraception solutions such as condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps among others which prevent sperm from meeting an egg thus preventing pregnancy.
For those who have decided they do not want any more children now or in the future, there are permanent birth control options available at the Womens Health Group Chicago. Procedures such as tubal ligation or vasectomy provide foolproof results while ensuring minimal interference with sexual spontaneity post-procedure – giving you total peace of mind.
Nobody’s perfect – accidents happen! If regular contraceptives fail or no protection was used during intercourse within close proximity, we have got you covered with Emergency Contraception solutions. The Womens Health Group Chicago provides emergency pills and copper IUDs that can be used up to five days after unprotected sexual activity.
Fertility awareness methods are an invaluable tool for women who prefer a natural approach to birth control or those looking for non-invasive, hormone-free alternatives. These methods involve understanding the specific signs of fertility throughout your menstrual cycle. As part of our comprehensive range of services in Burnham, the team at Womens Health Group Chicago is skilled at teaching these techniques and providing supportive care throughout your fertility management journey.
