One size does not fit all when it comes to women’s health. Hence why at The Women’s Health Group Chicago we provide extensive counseling on different types of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Our goal is to guide you through making an informed decision that best equates with your body type, lifestyle, and contraceptive needs. Whether hormone-free copper-T or hormonal levonorgestrel suits you best will be discussed thoroughly based on comprehensive medical evaluations.
We understand that effective healthcare doesn’t end after a procedure has been performed but continues through diligent follow-up check-ups. Post-IUD insertion patients receive attentive monitoring services comprising regular checks ensuring the IUD remains correctly positioned without causing complications or unwanted effects, designed with your welfare topmost in mind.
After an IUD has been inserted there may sometimes arise potential side effects or complications as one’s body adjusts to their new device.That’s where Womens Health Group Chicago steps in: offering dedicated resources towards managing any adverse responses related to an inserted IUD such as unanticipated pain, irregular bleeding periods among others; ensuring peace of mind about choosing this form of contraception.
In situations when an intrauterine device might not be suitable due to health or lifestyle considerations, we at Women’s Health Group Chicago are committed to educating and advising on alternative contraceptive methods. From barrier techniques like condoms and diaphragms to hormonal birth control pills or patches, there’s a vast array of options designed to suit every woman’s unique circumstance.
In order cater for unplanned sexual encounters or contraceptive malfunction, Womens Health Group Chicago provides emergency contraception services.

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.
