Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of finding the right method of birth control to suit your lifestyle and health needs. One option that many women choose is hormonal contraceptives, which use hormones to prevent ovulation and therefore pregnancy. These options may include birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings, and injections. Our experienced team can guide you through these methods in an informative consultation about what might be best for you considering side effects and convenience.
Another effective family planning approach provided at our clinic involves Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). These are birth control methods that last for an extended period yet are easily reversible if you decide to conceive. The LARC methods offered by us include intrauterine devices (IUDs) & contraceptive implants such as Nexplanon®. Guided by safety and effectiveness considerations, our expert OBGYN’s offer a comprehensive discussion about LARCs – their installation procedure, benefits, possible side-effects and removal process.
A non-hormonal route to preventing unintended pregnancies lies within Barrier Methods of contraception available at Women’s Health Group Chicago. Some women prefer this type because it doesn’t involve ingesting chemicals or altering natural hormone levels — examples include condoms (male & female), diaphragms and cervical caps among others. We provide education on proper usage ensuring maximum effectiveness along with simultaneous protection from sexually transmitted infections(STIs).
For those who have decided not to expand their families further in East Chicago or wish always to remain child-free; permanent contraception provides the perfect solution! Under professional supervision at our healthcare clinic, we render surgical sterilization services like tubal ligation for females – a highly effective way to permanently prevent future pregnancies. Our staff ensures that you have all the information and support for making an informed decision about opting for these irreversible methods.
When accidents happen, such as a broken condom or missed birth control pill, emergency contraception can help protect against unplanned pregnancy in East Chicago. Women’s Health Group Chicago recommends ‘Plan B’ contraceptive pills or copper IUD insertion within five days of unprotected intercourse for best results of prevention. We’re committed to ensuring each woman has quick access to this critical care & advice in times when standard measures fail.
Lastly but equally important are Fertility Awareness Methods which stand on understanding our body’s unique fertility patterns throughout menstrual cycles. At our clinic Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide training on techniques like monitoring basal body temperature, observing cervical mucous changes and calendar method – so that you can achieve or avoid pregnancy naturally without any external interventions ensure it aligns with your personal beliefs or health requirements.
