Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we specialize in providing a range of services including IUD insertion and removal. Our team of highly experienced healthcare providers consider the patient’s comfort during the procedure as a top priority. The process is quick and often painless, implemented in our clinic with utmost hygiene and care standards. Post-procedure, patients are provided with comprehensive after-care instruction to alleviate any discomfort or complications.
We understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to contraceptive needs. To help you make an informed decision about your reproductive health, our experts provide counseling sessions covering different types of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). We impart clear information about hormonal IUDs like Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla which release progesterone gradually into your body while non-hormonal copper T-380A ParaGard operates separately altogether. With this understanding we allow you to rest assured knowing your contraceptive choice aligns perfectly with your specific lifestyle and health condition.
Post-insertion follow-up is critical for us at the Women’s Health Group Chicago because we prioritize patient wellbeing above everything else! Scheduling regular appointments allows us to monitor physical reactions following IUD insertions through routine check-ups ensuring there isn’t unusual bleeding or other issues associated with device rejection by body so that early intervention can be initiated if needed.
While the majority experiences minimal side effects when using an IUD as contraception method – occasional cramps or irregular menstruation might occur at times too. These conditions generally improve overtime yet under untoward circumstances needing medical attention such as prolonged heavy bleeding, unbearable pains etc., ourofessionals provide immediate consultation and appropriate management to tackle side effects and complications.
Recognizing that every woman’s contraceptive needs are unique, we foster a comprehensive approach in presenting potential alternatives to Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). Birth control methods such as birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings or depo-provera injections can fit better into the lifestyle of some patients. Barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms or cervical caps also serve as effective options.
In instances where conventional contraception fails or is not utilized because of any unforeseen circumstance- Emergency Contraceptions might be the answer! To cater for these pressing moments we offer immediate advice regarding accessible over-the-counter emergency contraceptives including Levonorgestrel tablets (Plan B One-step) and Ulipristal Acetate tablet Ella which need prescription. We emphasize on proper guidance helping you get through these stressful times with utmost ease.

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.
