At Womens Health Group Chicago, we specialize in providing comprehensive IUD services including insertion and removal. Our qualified healthcare professionals understand that the decision to have an IUD is personal; hence they utilize effective techniques to ensure a smooth process. Whether it’s your first time or you are considering switching methods or type of contraception, we offer gentle yet efficient care during both IUD insertion and removal procedures.
An important part of our service involves counseling on different types of IUDs available for women in La Grange Park. We want every woman who walks through our doors to make informed decisions about their health. Hence, we provide detailed information on hormonal and non-hormonal types as well as pros and cons related to each one of them. Regardless whether you choose a temporary or permanent option, our experts will guide you through the process while addressing all your concerns.
When it comes to managing reproductive health, constant follow-ups are integral. Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, ensuring comfort post-IUD-insertion is among our top priorities. Along with implementing watchful monitoring after the procedure for any difficulties that might occur like abnormal bleeding or pain, our team also offers personalized consultation sessions so that every individual can share her experiences openly.
Our expertise does not stop at just offering successful procedures – managing side effects and complications too falls under our scope of services. Be it cramps or heavier periods following an IUD insertion, minor discomfort isn’t unusual but if these symptoms persist longer than expected then seeking medical help from us becomes crucial.
We firmly believe that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ method when it comes to contraception. That’s why we discuss various alternatives to IUDs for women who might reconsider their decisions based on discomfort or lifestyle factors. From contraceptive injections, birth control pills to patches & rings – understanding a host of alternative options gives our clients the freedom to choose what suits them best.
In addition to offering long-term reproductive health management solutions like IUDs, Womens Health Group Chicago also specializes in providing emergency contraception. Whether you live in La Grange Park or are just visiting, if there’s ever an immediate need for pregnancy prevention post unprotected intercourse, count on us as your reliable healthcare provider. We offer both pill-based and non-pill emergency contraceptives which are effective even after 72 hours from the potential risk exposure event.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

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.
