Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in personalized care and solutions that suit your unique needs. Our expert team of healthcare professionals will provide you with a thorough understanding and guide to hormonal contraceptives. This method of birth control uses hormones to regulate or stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy with methods like oral pills, patches, injections, vaginal rings etc. We understand that every woman’s body is different hence these hormonal treatments are prescribed after careful consideration of individual health history.
Not looking for a permanent solution but also desire long term reliability? At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer our patients Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). These include devices such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal implants which work for extended periods ranging from 3 years up to even 10 years without need for replacement. With LARCs you regain fertility almost immediately after discontinuation giving you flexibility while planning your family.
Womens Health Group Chicago takes into account all aspects of women’s health including protection against sexually transmitted diseases along with contraception choices. Barrier Method contraceptive provides this dual purpose by acting as a barrier preventing sperm meeting an egg during intercourse whereas some also offer protection against STDs; examples include male condoms, female condoms & diaphragm caps among others.
If you’ve decided your family is complete or children aren’t on the cards for you ever then Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Permanent Birth Control options too! Our skilled physicians can discuss tubal ligation – a surgery where fallopian tubes are closed off – ensuring permanent protection from getting pregnant in future. Your safety & satisfaction remain at heartwhile performing any surgical procedures.
Unpredictable life events might sometimes call for Emergency Contraception; Womens Health Group Chicago wants to reassure you that there is no need for panic. Our healthcare professionals, sympathetic in understanding your personal situations are equipped with solutions like emergency contraceptive pills or a Copper IUD fitment; designed for use after unprotected sex or failure of normal contraceptive.
Understanding one’s body can be empowering and help achieving contraception naturally. Fertility awareness methods involve identifying the fertile days of menstrual cycle and abstaining from intercourse on those days as a natural form of birth control. Womens Health Group Chicago aims at providing its patients in Homer Glen accurate knowledge about various components involved in this method including basal body temperature tracking, ovulation prediction kits etc to make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
