At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our dedicated and experienced team consults with you on a range of contraceptive options. We believe in empowering women by helping them make informed decisions about their reproductive health. Our expertise extends to hormonal contraceptives, an effective method that changes the hormonal levels in your body to prevent pregnancy. These include birth control pills, patches, injections, vaginal rings and more. Each form offers different benefits and considerations, which we will carefully discuss with you to help identify the best option for your individual needs and lifestyle.
Safe and highly effective, Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) come recommended if convenience is high priority for you. This group includes intrauterine devices (IUDs) as well as subdermal contraceptive implants – both offer long-term protection against unplanned pregnancies without requiring daily attention or regular doctor appointments like other methods do. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our healthcare professionals offer comprehensive knowledge about LARCs’ use, effectiveness and potential side effects — enabling you to choose what will work best for your personal situation.
For those seeking non-hormonal birth control methods or need additional protection alongside another method , barrier contraceptives can be a suitable choice. These work by preventing sperm from reaching an egg through physical or chemical barriers such as diaphragms, cervical caps or condoms . Our committed team at Womens Health Group Chicago is prepared to guide women based in Berwyn on how each type works plus its efficacy rates –to ensure they feel confident when making their decision.
For women who have decided not wanting future pregnancies, permanent contraception could be the ideal solution . Done via surgical procedures like sterilization it provides a permanent and highly effective means to prevent pregnancy. Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, our knowledgeable professionals would provide you with all the necessary information before opting for this method ensuring that it is the right choice that aligns perfectly with your health and lifestyle choices.
We understand life can be unpredictable, providing an array of emergency contraception services — such as morning-after pills or copper IUD insertion— when needed most is therefore central to us . By offering these fertility-regulating options within a 72-hour window after unprotected intercourse our mission at Womens Health Group Chicago remains protecting Berwyn women’s reproductive rights whilst minimizing any risk of unplanned pregnancies.
Another option we offer includes Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM), which hinges upon understanding the menstrual cycle intricately so as to curtail conception chances by abstaining intercourse on fertile days. We take pride in keeping each step comprehensible through instructions regarding symptom-checking , cyclic patterns or temperature charting – ultimate goal being enabling maximum bodily autonomy during family planning process for every woman who walks through our doors here at Womens Heath Group Chicago.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.
