At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we are dedicated to offering a wide range of family planning solutions tailored to the unique needs of every woman. Our hormonal contraceptives are optimized for those seeking short- or long-term birth control options. Our health specialists guide patients through types such as oral contraceptive pills, patches directly applied on the skin, vaginal rings fitted by professionals and injectables administered on schedule to prevent ovulation while maintaining hormones balanced.
Our clinic in Brighton Park specialises in providing Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). LARCs are ideal for women not looking forward to immediate motherhood but eventually might want children. This allows them flexibility without any daily intervention. Implants and IUDs fall under this category offered at our clinic with detailed guidance from our experienced medical practitioners about insertion procedures and effectiveness against potential pregnancy risks.
We take pride in offering barrier methods for contraception that aim at preventing sperms from reaching the egg hence avoiding unwanted conception. Diaphragms fitting, use of cervical caps carefully placed over cervix, spermicidal foams including condoms use—all form part of Women’s Health Group Chicago’s comprehensive line-up hub of services catering to various comfort zones; they preserve spontaneity by allowing intercourse anytime without disturbing normal hormone balance making it highly suitable if you’re also hoping to counter sexually transmitted diseases incidences.
For those absolutely certain about not wanting additional children, we offer permanent birth control procedures after thorough consultation sessions explaining pros and cons clearly helping them come up with an informed decision. Tubal ligation and bilateral salpingectomy—both being surgical interventions terminating fertility permanently—are made available ensuring safe environments performed by reputable experts assuring peace amidst these life-altering decisions.
Understanding that accidents sometimes happen, our clinic in Brighton Park also provides emergency contraceptive services. Whether it’s a failed or forgotten protective method during intercourse, we are committed to providing quick and professional assistance for those unplanned moments. These services include morning-after pills or emergency IUDs inserted within hours after the act ensuring your health is not compromised.
Lastly—but equally important—we offer guidance on Fertility Awareness-Based Methods (FABMs) serving you if hormonal contraceptives aren’t suitable due to health conditions or personal choice. By tracking menstrual cycle patterns—body temperature variations, changes in cervical mucus—the trained professionals at Women’s Health Group Chicago aim towards empowering you with knowledge about fertility cycles helping make informed sexual activity decisive acts predicting natural pregnancy risks saving the day ultimately.

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.
