Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that when it comes to birth control methods, every woman has unique needs. As experienced professionals in women’s health care, we offer services such as IUD insertion and removal with utmost precision and care. Our team of qualified OBGYNs takes comprehensive steps to ensure a comfortable environment during these procedures. We place emphasis on maintaining minimal discomfort for you – our patient – while ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.
Understanding different types of IUDs is crucial for making an informed decision about your sexual health. Thus, Womens Health Group Chicago offers comprehensive counseling sessions where our knowledgeable consultants explain each type – hormonal (like Mirena) or non-hormonal (like ParaGard). We provide practical insight into how they work as well as realistic expectations so you can make the best choice possible for your body based on your goals and lifestyle factors.
We at Womens Health Group Chicago believe that healthcare shouldn’t stop after implementing a solution. Accordingly, post-IUD insertion follow-ups are given equal priority here. At regular intervals following procedure completion, scheduled checkups allow our doctors to assess if your body comfortably adjusted to the newly inserted device or not? Is everything going smoothly? Your consistent comfort is part of what makes us one of the best choices in Addison.
While IUDs are generally safe with minimal complications, at times side effects may occur post-insertion. Despite their rarity, side-effects like cramps or irregular bleeding need immediate medical attention from seasoned OBGYN specialists present at Womens Health Group Chicago clinic who can effectively manage these issues before becoming more significant problems.
Though IUDs are a highly effective contraceptive tool, they may not necessarily suit everyone. If you’re reluctant about using an intrauterine device or have medical restrictions that prevent the use of one, we offer counseling sessions on alternatives like oral pills, implantable devices, patches and injections. A welcoming environment backed by non-judgmental professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago will assist you in weighing the right options while keeping your health as top priority.
There could be instances where emergency contraception becomes vital. During these often stressful times, Womens Health Group Chicago is committed to providing immediate yet compassionate care to assist with your contraceptive needs. Offering services like morning-after pill prescription that can potentially resolve potential pregnancies from recent unprotected intercourse has bolstered our reputation as providers empathetic sexual healthcare solutions within Addison city.

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.
