With expertise spanning over many years, our physicians are highly skilled when it comes to comfortable and hassle-free procedures.
Every woman’s body is unique. We understand that what works for one may not necessarily work for another; thus understanding different types of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) becomes super crucial before making any decisions. The Women’s Health Group Chicago offers comprehensive counseling on various types of IUDs available in the market- hormonal, non-hormonal copper-based or otherwise, assisting you every step of the way as you weigh their pros and cons based on your health condition and lifestyle.
Post-procedure care forms an important aspect at Womens Health Group Chicago clinic too. Your recovery period after an IUD insertion does not go overlooked here! Regular follow-ups with check-ins on discomfort levels ensure that no complications arise unexpectedly after insertion. Moreover, monitoring also helps us chart out if there needs to be any alterations made to improve comfort levels.
At times side effects or complications may creep up post-IUD procedure which might cause distress or discomfort but worry not! Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, managing these issues take center stage promptly as soon as they’re detected during regular follow-ups making sure your wellness remains uncompromised during this journey towards healthy living.
If for some reason IUD is not an appropriate method of contraception for you, we have other alternatives up our sleeves. Comprehensive consultations at Womens Health Group Chicago allow exploring various contraceptives such as birth control pills, shots, patches or even sterilization methods depending on your lifestyle needs and medical concerns.

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.
