We follow strict guidelines and employ advanced tools for minimal discomfort during this procedure.
At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we believe in providing extensive consultation on different types of IUDs available in today’s market. Whether you choose hormonal or non-hormonal options like Copper T380A, we have proficient counselors who guide you each step of the way—evaluating your lifestyle needs, explaining potential side effects as well as success rates linked with each method—to help you make an informed decision tailored to what best suits your body and future planning necessities.
We understand how crucial post-insertion care is for women who opt for IUDs. Hence, at Womens Health Group Chicago, we sensitize continual monitoring following your IUD insertion as part of our commitment towards maintaining holistic reproductive care. This includes regular check-ups ideally six weeks after the procedure which allows us to ensure successful placement while discussing any concerns related to symptoms or changes experienced.
Our job does not stop at delivering reliable healthcare services alone—we also pride ourselves in standing by you once an issue occurs by managing side effects inherent in the use of intrauterine devices (IUD). Side effects may range from cramping, irregular bleeding patterns amongst others—it is completely natural but rest assured under vigilant supervision with effective solutions offered can generate peace-of-mind relating these minor complications post IUD insertion.
Our focus at Womens Health Group Chicago goes beyond providing IUD services; we also counsel on various alternatives to intrauterine devices. When you consult us, our team helps you understand the pros and cons of other contraceptive methods such as birth control pills, patches, rings or even barrier options like condoms and diaphragms. Our goal is to navigate through these multiple choices with transparency allowing you space for making an empowered decision compatible with your lifestyle needs.
Designed specifically for instances when regular contraceptives fail or are not used correctly, emergency contraception serves as a crucial backup plan in preventing unintended pregnancies. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide comprehensive information about your viable EC options: pill form or intrauterine intervention—guiding especially around misconceptions surrounding its usage while reflecting upon actual effectiveness—you can expect timely support under unexpected circumstances distilling maximum assurance!

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.
