Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, our expert team based in thriving Chicago Loop is well-equipped to handle both IUD insertion and removal procedures. The process may seem intimidating, but with us by your side, we aim to make it as comfortable and smooth as possible. Our compassionate staff fully understand women’s health needs and are ready to guide you through each step of the procedure which can be integral for long-term birth control.
When considering an Intrauterine Device (IUD), we believe it’s essential that you have complete information about different types of available options. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our knowledgeable clinicians provide comprehensive counseling around the various types of IUDs including hormonal or non-hormonal devices so that you can make a well-informed decision about what suits your body and lifestyle best.
Our commitment doesn’t end right after your IUD insertion; instead, we ensure comprehensive post-insertion care at Womens Health Clinic in central Chicago Loop. We emphasize personalized follow-ups as they enable us monitor any changes or adaptions following the procedure with ease. This underlines our mission to offer top-tier medical services where adherence to timeline appointments contributes significantly towards maintaining optimal health.
Our conscientious approach extends into recognizing each woman’s unique reactions post-procedure given not all bodies react similarly after an IUD insertion. Particular symptoms may arise due to individualistic biological factors which mandate efficient management techniques specifically tailored for them. Hence, we are diligent in educating and equipping ourselves on evolving practices enabling us to manage potential side effects inherent with complex gynecologic scenarios more competently.
In accordance with our policy of promoting individual choice, Womens Health Group Chicago proffers a comprehensive variety of alternatives to IUDs. Our alternative offerings entail fertility awareness methods, barrier methods and hormonal birth control options among others. Following consultations through which we discern the right fit based on your specifics like health history or future pregnancy plans ultimately ensures methodical resolutions for unique patient cases.

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.
