IUD Services in Harvey Illinois

IUD Insertion and Removal

At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize the health and safety of our clients. We offer top-notch IUD insertion and removal services for women in Harvey who are looking to manage their reproductive health effectively. Our seasoned team uses the latest techniques to ensure that these procedures are as painless as possible. It’s a quick process performed delicately by experienced OBGYN professionals with an exceptional track record.

Counseling On Different Types Of IUDs

We understand that every woman has unique needs when it comes to controlling her fertility. Thus, counseling on different types of IUDs is part and parcel of our service package at Womens Health Group Chicago. Each session takes into consideration personal factors such as your current overall health status, reproductive aspirations, lifestyle, among others while providing informative knowledge about hormonal vs copper-based options.

Follow-up and Monitoring After Insertion

After undergoing an IUD insertion process at Womens Health Group Chicago, we don’t leave you there! Regular follow-ups take center stage after this procedure to monitor how well you’re adapting physically & emotionally to wearing an IUD. This not only helps us catch any complications early but allows us better insights into how we can provide more personalized care.

Managing Side Effects and Complications

Your wellbeing remains paramount long after you’ve left our facilities – ensuring proper management of side effects related to any OB/GYN treatment or procedure including IUD usage falls within this purview. Side effects may include backache or slight discomfort – provided they do not persist beyond normal limits; however adverse reactions though rare require immediate attention which is why regular check-ups remain vital.

Alternatives To IUDs

It’s important we iterate right from start: one-size-fits-all isn’t exactly valid when discussing birth control methods – every woman is unique requires a tailored approach. This understanding informs the advice we give during consultation sessions at Womens Health Group Chicago, where we provide useful information on alternatives to IUDs. Pills, patches, vaginal rings and condoms are some of these alternate options you may consider as per your health condition & comfort.

Emergency Contraception

Life throws unexpected curveballs sometimes – an untoward situation might necessitate use of emergency contraception. We understand this at Womens Health Group Chicago and offer personalized solutions with regard to Plan B pills or copper IUD insertions that can help prevent unwanted pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

I've been coming to Dr. Awad and Dr. Mike for over 30 years. Never had a bad experience and actually look forward to chatting with them both. I was a little sad and nervous when I was told Dr. Mike was unavailable today (delivering babies!) so I saw Dr. Lexi. I should have known Dr. Mike would only hire the best to work with him. Dr. Lexi was kind and knowledgeable. She asked all the right questions and was very gentle. Great staff as well.
