At Womens Health Group Chicago, we specialize in a range of birth control options to suit the needs and lifestyle preferences of every woman. One such option is Hormonal Contraceptives, which include pills, patches, and injections. These methods work by releasing hormones that prevent ovaries from releasing eggs. Most women appreciate hormonal contraceptives for their effectiveness as well as the normal menstrual cycles they promote.
We proudly offer Long-acting Reversible Contraceptive methods at our clinic; including choices such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants. As these contraceptives can provide continuous prevention against unwanted pregnancies for several years without frequent attention or maintenance, they are appreciated by many busy or family-planning women in Westmont alike.
For those who prefer non-hormonal contraception solutions or desire protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), barrier methods might be an ideal choice. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we guide you through various barrier options like condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps – each designed to physically block sperm from reaching an egg during intercourse.
Making the decision to permanently prevent pregnancy is significant and requires medical expertise that’s sensitive your personal wishes. In recognizing this consideration comes with a lot of thought about one’s present situation and future potentialities; our team provides compassionate counsel on permanent contraceptive procedures suitable for your circumstances in Westmont.
Despite taking precautions, there may still be situations demanding immediate action to avoid conception after unprotected sex. This solution known as Emergency Contraception – available at Womens Health Group Chicago either via specific emergency contraceptive pills (“morning-after” pills) or copper IUDs, can be life-saving options for women.
For those who prefer more natural forms of family planning, Fertility Awareness Methods offer an attractive choice. These methods involve understanding and tracking a woman’s menstrual cycle to predict the days she is most likely to get pregnant. Supported with information and resources from Womens Health Group Chicago, you will feel confident in your fertility awareness journey.
