Counseling On Different Types Of IUDs

Choosing the right type of contraceptive can be confusing given the myriad options available today. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive counseling sessions where our experts discuss different types of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs). Our team provides detailed information about hormonal and copper-based devices while suggesting what may suit your body best based on personal health history and lifestyle factors.

Follow-up And Monitoring After Insertion

Aftercare following an IUD procedure is crucial to prevent complications like infections or device displacement issues etc. That’s why at Womens Health Group Chicago we provide regular follow-ups to each patient who had their IUD inserted with us – tracking any discomfort they may feel post-procedure whether it comes from physical pain or emotional distress related to sexuality after contraception usage changes which happens sometimes too especially during early stage adjustments period following IUD implantation by physician.

Managing Side Effects And Complications

Though highly effective as birth control methods, like other contraceptives intrauterine devices might have some side effects too: various abdominal discomfort types usually manifest during initial days weeks after getting one implanted inside female patient but can persist longer in some cases. Our experienced healthcare team at Women’s Health Group Chicago identifies these symptoms early and manages them effectively, keeping your health and comfort our topmost priority.

Alternatives To IUDs

We understand that every woman’s contraceptive needs are unique, hence, we don’t limit our services to just IUD counseling – offering alternatives primarily for those who may not be comfortable with the idea of an implanted device but seeks equally effective modes of contraception. At Women’s Health Clinic Chicago we provide complete information on alternative options like birth control pills, patches, injections etc., so you can choose what fits best for your specific requirements after carefully considering their pros cons along doctor during consultation session before making a final decision.

Emergency Contraception

While IUD is perfectly designed for planned prevention of unwanted pregnancies as part of women’s routine health management regimen it doesn’t handle emergency situations resulting from unprotected sexual intercourse where immediate action is required in contrast. Hence availability of ‘morning-after’ pill option secures against pregnancy risks post such rare events too – available right here in Elmwood Park via Womens Health Group Chicago delivering services under one roof ensure no matter the timing your reproductive rights remain well-protected always.

I’ve had the absolute best experience here at Women’s Health Group. I often get anxious when visiting doctors, but Lexi and the team here have always made me feel very safe and relaxed. I had to get some blood work done and they drew my blood on-site at the clinic, which was super convenient! I was encouraged to lay down and rest afterwards for as long as I needed, and I never felt rushed. I’ve also gotten an IUD here and it was a million times easier than I expected. Lexi is just fantastic and talked me through the whole process! The team here will do everything in their power to help you receive the care you need, and I highly recommend this clinic.
