Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we place your reproductive health at the forefront of our concerns. We endeavor to empower you with all necessary information when making decisions regarding birth control options. Hormonal contraceptives are widely used due to their proven efficacy in preventing unwanted pregnancies. They come in various forms such as pills, patches, injections or vaginal rings and work by controlling menstrual cycles and inhibiting ovulation. Our team of specialized physicians is ready to guide you through selecting a hormonal contraceptive that fits into your lifestyle seamlessly and effectively.
Perhaps one of the most convenient methods for long-term pregnancy prevention is Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC). Whether it’s an intrauterine device (IUD) or an implant under the skin, these devices provide effective protection usually up to 3-10 years following insertion. At Womens Health Group Chicago, LARCs are administered by trained professionals who also offer comprehensive advice on aftercare and monitoring.
We understand every woman might have different preferences according to which she chooses her birth control method. Barrier methods serve a great purpose because apart from contraception they can also protect against sexually transmitted diseases. These methods include condoms, diaphragm among others which act as physical barriers stopping sperm from meeting egg cells during intercourse. Womens Health Group Chicago believes in providing well-rounded sexual healthcare services; barrier thrives among them.
For those women seeking permanent solutions towards family planning without undergoing surgical processes like hysterectomy, offers exist like tubal ligation or hysteroscopic sterilization procedures which involve blocking fallopian tubes so eggs cannot reach uterus for fertilization process.Womens Health Clinic Chicago takes care meticulously supporting each patient throughout this life-changing decision preserving their wellbeing.
Accidents can happen, providing access to emergency contraception is the Womens Health group of Chicago’s commitment for such situations. Whether it’s a forgotten contraceptive, condom failure, or any other mishap, our emergency contraception options like morning-after pill and copper IUD can significantly reduce risks associated with unplanned pregnancy when taken shortly after unprotected sex.
At Womens Health Group of Chicago we also provide support for women who want natural and hormone-free birth control methods. Fertility awareness method is based on understanding your monthly cycle and identifying signs indicating fertility during menstrual cycle allowing prevention during these times saving dependency upon artificial contraceptive methods. We work together helping each patient comprehend her unique bodily rhythms harnessing this power successfully traversing critical life decisions related health.
