Our clinic offers these services in a comfortable, secure environment where clients’ safety and privacy are our top priorities. We utilize the latest medical technologies to ensure that this procedure is performed with minimal discomfort.
There is not ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to contraceptive methods, which are why at Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide comprehensive counseling on various types of IUDs. Whether you prefer hormonal or non-hormonal options like copper-based IUDs, our medical experts will clearly explain the benefits, potential side effects and answer any queries you may have to help make an informed decision about what best suits your lifestyle and personal preferences.
Treatment does not end just after the insertion process; providing thorough follow-up care and monitoring after an IUD has been inserted is also part of our commitment towards ensuring good women’s health here in McCook. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we carefully track patients’ recovery progress post-insertion to proactively manage any possible complications that may arise following the procedure while promoting healthy living habits.
It can certainly be unnerving dealing with unexpected side effects or complications arising from new contraception methods like IUDs. Surely enough with proper management they become less frightening than thought initially- hence at Women’s Health Group Chicago we’re dedicated to addressing these concerns head-on by offering support round-the-clock! Working closely with each patient ensures cases get resolved efficiently before escalating into severe issues thus enhancing peace of mind eventually!
For those women who find that an IUD might not be the suitable choice, Womens Health Group Chicago also offers consultations on alternatives. From birth control pills and patches to vaginal rings or injectables, we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide you with a myriad of safe contraceptive options while educating you thoroughly about their pros and cons for informed decisions.
Sometimes regular contraception methods migth fail or become unavailable when needed- it’s at these instances emergency contraception comes into play. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer advice on emergency contraception choices such as morning-after pills or copper IUD to prevent any possible pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. Our aim is ensuring every woman in McCook feels confident in managing her reproductive health with us by her side!

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.
