Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we dedicate ourselves to providing comprehensive services for women’s health. We specialize in IUD insertion and removal procedures designed around the unique needs of every woman who trusts us with their healthcare. With professional precision, our clinicians guide you through the process, ensuring minimal discomfort while prioritizing your safety at all times.
Our team believes that knowledge empowers decision-making when it comes to selecting an appropriate form of contraception. In light of this belief, our qualified practitioners engage patients in thorough discussions about various types of intrauterine devices (IUDs). These conversations encompass hormonal and copper-based options as well as different brands available on the market. Our emphasis lies on equipping each woman with full understanding to make an informed choice personalized according to her body’s responses and lifestyle considerations.
We assure our clients that the care provided by Womens Health Group Chicago extends beyond just initial procedure facilitation. Following any IUD insertion, a series of follow-ups is habitually accommodated within our schedule to ensure successful device implementation without complications or discomfort over time. This attentively conducted monitoring involves regular check-ins and tailored adjustments if necessary for optimal results throughout its lifespan until eventual removal.
Be assured that Womens Health Group Chicago remains dedicated to addressing any side effects or complications related to your contraceptive measures promptly and effectively. Side effects may vary from moderate physical changes such as irregular menstrual bleeding patterns or severe indications requiring immediate medical attention like possible infections or displacement concerns regarding your IUD placement – we offer proactive solutions along with continuous guidance covering all these possibilities.
Realizing how diverse individual preferences can be, our clinic provides comprehensive consultations about alternatives to IUDs as well. Just as with determining an appropriate IUD, advising patients on other contraceptive methods such as birth control pills, diaphragms or implants is based on discussions around safety, efficiency and compatibility with unique lifestyle demands. Advocating for patient’s right to opt freely after being conversant of all potential choices stands at the heart of our services.
As part of a holistic approach towards women’s health care in Greenwood, we provide reliable options for emergency contraception. Whether it’s due to failed standard contraception or unplanned sexual encounter necessitating preventive measures against unplanned pregnancy – our team extends utmost confidentiality and support while serving professional assistance under these circumstances. Understanding the crucial timeframe involved here, Womens Health Group Chicago strives towards assisting promptly without compromising quality care.

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.
