Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize the health and safety of our clients. We offer top-notch IUD insertion and removal services for women in Harvey who are looking to manage their reproductive health effectively. Our seasoned team uses the latest techniques to ensure that these procedures are as painless as possible. It’s a quick process performed delicately by experienced OBGYN professionals with an exceptional track record.
We understand that every woman has unique needs when it comes to controlling her fertility. Thus, counseling on different types of IUDs is part and parcel of our service package at Womens Health Group Chicago. Each session takes into consideration personal factors such as your current overall health status, reproductive aspirations, lifestyle, among others while providing informative knowledge about hormonal vs copper-based options.
After undergoing an IUD insertion process at Womens Health Group Chicago, we don’t leave you there! Regular follow-ups take center stage after this procedure to monitor how well you’re adapting physically & emotionally to wearing an IUD. This not only helps us catch any complications early but allows us better insights into how we can provide more personalized care.
Your wellbeing remains paramount long after you’ve left our facilities – ensuring proper management of side effects related to any OB/GYN treatment or procedure including IUD usage falls within this purview. Side effects may include backache or slight discomfort – provided they do not persist beyond normal limits; however adverse reactions though rare require immediate attention which is why regular check-ups remain vital.
It’s important we iterate right from start: one-size-fits-all isn’t exactly valid when discussing birth control methods – every woman is unique requires a tailored approach. This understanding informs the advice we give during consultation sessions at Womens Health Group Chicago, where we provide useful information on alternatives to IUDs. Pills, patches, vaginal rings and condoms are some of these alternate options you may consider as per your health condition & comfort.
Life throws unexpected curveballs sometimes – an untoward situation might necessitate use of emergency contraception. We understand this at Womens Health Group Chicago and offer personalized solutions with regard to Plan B pills or copper IUD insertions that can help prevent unwanted pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

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.
