Our primary mission is to empower our patients and provide them with safe, reliable medical options. We offer expert services on both IUD insertion and removal procedures right here in Essex. These are typically quick procedures offered by professionals experienced in maintaining high comfort levels whilst ensuring precision in placements & extractions.
Understanding what kind of contraceptive method works best for your body is an important aspect of reproductive health management. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we encourage open communication and commit ourselves to educating our clients about various types of IUDs available in the market. Our team provides personalized counseling sessions that explain each type’s specifics- from hormonal to non-hormonal copper-based ones- thus enabling you to make well-informed decisions concerning your health.
The period following an IUD insertion requires professional monitoring which ensures there are no complications or adverse effects post-procedure. To ensure a seamless experience after the procedure, Womens Health Group Chicago offers dedicated follow-up appointments for all our patients based in Essex. Regular monitoring by our experts allows us to track potential signs of discomfort immediately resulting in prompt actions mitigating any hiccups during recovery phases.
While most people adjust well post-IUD insertions, some might experience side effects like irregular periods or cramps initially. The key factor remains vigilant observation followed by effective management of these side effects whenever they occur. If you reside within Essex city limits or its surrounding areas; managing possible symptoms and complications arising from a recently placed intrauterine device could not have been easier – thanks to Womens Health Group Chicago’s knowledgeable providers who truly understand and specialize in internal care for women.

Every woman’s body is unique; hence their medical procedures should respect this diversity.

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.
