Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we passionately believe in providing women with a full range of contraceptive choices. Our efficient IUD insertion and removal services are tailored to each woman’s unique healthcare needs. With our professional team led by experienced OBGYNs, we utilize sophisticated techniques for safe and pain-free procedures.? After careful analysis of your medical history, our doctors will provide you the most suitable plan for either the placement or extraction of an intrauterine device (IUD).
Choosing a type of birth control is entirely personal and understanding which option suits best can often be quite confusing. At Women’s Health Group Chicago – Hegewisch Clinic, we offer extensive counseling on different types of IUD options available. Our physicians explain everything about hormonal and copper IUDs: from their lifespan to how they operate, making sure that whatever decision you make aligns with your individual lifestyle and health goals.
Your care doesn’t end at just the procedure; it extends beyond as part ‘after-care’. Ensuring optimal comfort after an IUD insertion is inevitably crucial to us at Womens Health Group Chicago. We conduct systematic follow-ups post-insertion to monitor your overall well-being while addressing any concerns promptly through swift communication coupled with personalized care plans.
While encountering side effects or complications from using an IUD is not very common, being prepared never hurts! There may be minor discomfort initially such as cramping or spotting – but rest assured knowing that our competent medical practitioners provide strategies for managing such conditions effectively if they happen to arise.
We understand that every woman has distinct health needs that demand various contraception forms. Consequently, we also give advice on alternatives to IUDs as part of our comprehensive consultation process to ensure options align with individual values and lifestyle choices. From condoms, diaphragms, contraceptive implants to oral contraceptives – our expert counselors are here to assist you in exploring all possibilities.
Unexpected situations do occur; when they do, emergency contraception is a necessity. At Women’s Health Group Chicago – Hegewisch Clinic, we provide access to immediate solutions for emergency contraception such as morning-after pills or copper IUD placements – ensuring that every woman has swift protection during unforeseen circumstances. It’s all about empowering women with ready availability so that reproductive decisions stay exactly where they should be – in their hands.

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.
