Skip to content At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we are equipped with skilled healthcare professionals who expertly perform IUD insertions and removals. We take utmost care in making this process as comfortable as possible for our patients, ensuring minimal discomfort. Our team always follows sterile processes to mitigate any risk of infection during these procedures. If you’re based in Evanston or the surrounding areas and require a professional medical service for an IUD insertion or removal, look no further than us.
There is more than one type of Intrauterine Device (IUD) available today, each with its unique benefits and potential side effects. For many women across Evanston and beyond, choosing which type might suit them best can be confusing. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide comprehensive counseling on the different types of IUDs so that every woman is able to make informed decisions about her reproductive health based on accurate information.
Your wellness journey doesn’t end at our clinic immediately after having an IUD inserted; follow-up care is crucial for continued wellbeing. The professionals at Women’s Health Group Chicago will schedule necessary post-insertional check-ups to ensure your body has adapted well to the device without complications. These routine monitoring visits are vital regardless of whether you live in downtown Evanston or nearby neighborhoods.
While most women have fairly straightforward experiences with their chosen form of contraception such as an IUD, there may be instances where some face niggling side effects or complications post-insertion. Rest assured that at Womens Health Group Chicago we have been helping manage those surprises professionally for years now! From minor issues like spotting between periods to larger concerns related to expulsion – our team provides necessary guidance, medical assistance and mental support for every woman.
Contraceptive options are diverse in today’s healthcare landscape, offering women more control over their reproductive health than ever before. While an IUD might be a popular choice among many forms of birth control, it isn’t necessarily the right one for everyone. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we also provide consultation about alternatives to IUDs such as contraceptive pills, condoms or sterilization procedures based on your lifestyle, future plans and overall health status.
Unforeseen circumstances may occur that necessitate emergency contraception measures. In these situations, you need expert care from trusted professionals; this is where Womens Health Group Chicago steps in. We’re here with responsive services and compassionate staff members to assist women across Evanston who require immediate access to emergency contraception after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Trust us not only for our promptness but also confidentiality.

An IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are one of the most effective forms of birth control, with a failure rate of less than 1%.
IUDs work in two ways:
There are two main types of IUDs:
IUDs offer a number of benefits, including:
Most women can get an IUD, regardless of their age, parity (whether or not they have had children), or medical history. However, IUDs are not recommended for women with certain medical conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or active sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
IUDs are inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional during a pelvic exam. The insertion procedure is usually quick and easy, and most women experience only mild cramping.
The most common side effects of IUDs are spotting and cramping. These side effects are usually mild and go away within a few months of insertion. Other potential side effects of IUDs include:
The length of time you can keep an IUD in place depends on the type of IUD you have. Copper IUDs can last for up to 10 years, while hormonal IUDs can last for 3 to 7 years, depending on the type.
If you are considering an IUD, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of IUDs and to choose the type of IUD that is right for you.
