Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive services for IUD insertion and removal. Our team of experienced doctors is equipped to ensure that the procedure goes through smoothly with minimal discomfort to you. We understand that every woman’s health needs are unique, so we take necessary precautions during both initial insertions as well as subsequent removals. Not only does this promise short-term wellbeing but also reduces risk of long term complications.
Apart from implantations and removal procedures, our clinic offers counseling on different types of intrauterine devices (IUD). Depending on your lifestyle and future family planning goals, certain types may be more beneficial than others – either hormone-releasing or non-hormonal copper IUDs. At Womens Health Group Chicago, individualized consultation aimed at providing enough information is made available for the patients in Hodgkins to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
Your care doesn’t stop after an IUD has been inserted. Follow-ups post-insertion play a critical role in ensuring your overall wellness. Our skilled providers schedule routine checkups, conduct monitoring tasks such as string checks while addressing other related queries after embedding an IUD effectively. Complications although rare can occur – regular follow up visits help detect any issues early thus keeping you safe always.
The body typically takes some time to adjust after an intrauterine device insertion resulting possibly in irregular periods or cramps – these side effects being mostly mild generally subside within few months of usage though it varies between individuals . Patients are educated extensively about potential side effects which are then proactively overseen by clinical staff managing them meticulously right here at the clinic.
While IUDs are extremely effective for long-term birth control, they might not be suitable for every woman. The Womens Health Group Chicago is well-equipped to explore and offer numerous alternative family planning options besides these devices. These alternative methods could vary from hormonal pills, patches, shots, or barrier methods like condoms leaving you with plenty choice to choose contraception that fits your lifestyle.
Accidents happen – whether failed contraceptive method or unprotected sexual encounters prompting need for immediate preventive action against unplanned pregnancy . For such situations our clinic provides emergency contraception services promptly as we service residents of Hodgkins. Supportive staff will guide clients through the process competently ensuring urgent requirements so you won’t have to worry about delayed treatment during critical time window.

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.
