Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we are experts in offering a range of hormonal contraceptive options to our patients. These methods can be convenient and easy to use, providing reliable birth control for many women. Hormonal contraceptives include the pill, patch, injection, vaginal ring or implant. The majority function by preventing ovulation from occurring or thickening cervical mucus – thwarting sperm mobility. We offer personalized consultations for you to understand each method and help you make an informed decision that balances your health needs with lifestyle preferences.
When it comes to long-term yet reversible means of pregnancy prevention, consider Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC). This category includes devices like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the birth control implant; all carefully administered at Womens Health Group Chicago clinic in Hodgkins area. Most IUDs release small amounts of progestin into your body which prevents ovulation whilst others made of copper repel sperm altogether making conception near impossible.
If hormonal interventions feel overwhelming or if you prefer a non-hormonal approach due to other health concerns, barrier contraceptive methods might be suitable for you – condoms being one classic example available at Womens Health Group Chicago Clinic.Hodgkins is not new to such services though! Barrier-method contraception works by blocking sperms physically from reaching any fertilizable eggs during intercourse while also protects against sexually transmitted infections(STIs).
For those certain they do not wish future pregnancies , permanent birth control solutions accessible at Women’s Health Group Chicago are invaluable resources.Our professionals provide safe sterilization procedures both surgical & nonsurgical types which closes off fallopian tubes thus refraining eggs from meeting sperms.No more surprise pregnancies!
Accidents happen even with the best of plans.Thankfully, at Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer emergency contraception for those in need within Hodgkins city where timing is critical. This may involve taking a ‘morning-after’ pill which alters hormonal levels to prevent pregnancy or having a copper IUD fitted as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
If you’re not keen on using medications or devices, Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) are an alternative option. These techniques assist women in understanding their own monthly fertility patterns .Womens Health Group Chicago offers guidance and training in methods such as monitoring basal body temperature and cervical mucus changes. Please remember that these practices require discipline but they do give some fascinating insight into your body’s inner workings!
