Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide expert services related to IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) procedures. Our skilled team of healthcare professionals delivers comprehensive care in the field of IUD insertion and removal that is both safe and comfortable. We understand every woman’s unique needs during this procedure and work closely with you to ensure enhanced comfort, discretion, and security throughout.
In a bid to ensure we truly meet our patients’ unique requirements, we offer detailed counseling sessions concerning different types of intrauterine devices available for contraception purposes. Each contraceptive method has individual distinctions; some are hormonal while others are made merely from copper threads without any hormone application at all. By offering information-intensive guidance about these variations, your decision-making process simplifies greatly.
Womens Health Group Chicago not only cares for you during but after your procedure as well through regular follow-ups subsequent to IUD insertion. We initiate consistent monitoring routines keeping track of the post-procedure recovery progress ensuring that there are no complications or adverse effects, thus delivering a complete package of efficient clinical care tailored specifically around your needs involving an Intrauterine device.
As part of our suite of services geared towards ensuring optimal patient health conditions post-IUD implementation, we also manage potential side effects and complications that might arise due to usage over time including inflammation or infrequent spotting issues among others. Our experienced medical practitioners are always ready to advise women seeking remedies or looking for ways to lessen such discomforts if they experience any symptoms associated with their chosen contraception means.
Notwithstanding its benefits, an Intra-Uterine Device may not be for every woman. It is why Womens Health Group Chicago also offers insightful counseling about alternative contraceptive options apart from IUDs such as birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings among others. At our clinic, the patient’s individual needs and concerns are absolute priority.
There might be situations demanding immediate attention in matters of contraception. For these pressing times, we extend emergency contraception services to ensure that an untimely or unintended pregnancy can be averted promptly and reliably. The medical professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago stand ready to serve your health requirements efficiently even during exigent situations.

An IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are one of the most effective forms of birth control, with a failure rate of less than 1%.
IUDs work in two ways:
There are two main types of IUDs:
IUDs offer a number of benefits, including:
Most women can get an IUD, regardless of their age, parity (whether or not they have had children), or medical history. However, IUDs are not recommended for women with certain medical conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or active sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
IUDs are inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional during a pelvic exam. The insertion procedure is usually quick and easy, and most women experience only mild cramping.
The most common side effects of IUDs are spotting and cramping. These side effects are usually mild and go away within a few months of insertion. Other potential side effects of IUDs include:
The length of time you can keep an IUD in place depends on the type of IUD you have. Copper IUDs can last for up to 10 years, while hormonal IUDs can last for 3 to 7 years, depending on the type.
If you are considering an IUD, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of IUDs and to choose the type of IUD that is right for you.
