We believe that choosing the right type of intrauterine device (IUD) is crucial for women who want control over their reproductive health plans. Thus, offering personalized counseling on different types of IUDs forms an integral part of our services here at Women’s Health Group Chicago. Our specialists take time to explain all aspects associated with hormonal and non-hormonal options, such as Copper T, Mirena, Kyleena, etc., allowing you a well-informed decision best suited to your body and lifestyle.
Your healthcare journey shouldn’t end after receiving medical services like IUD insertion; this philosophy underpins the commitment of Womens Health Group Chicago towards comprehensive post-insertion tracking & follow-ups. Regular sessions are scheduled depending upon individual cases where physicians check for any complications while ensuring that the contraception method functions effectively.
In addition to providing efficient IUD-related services, we also understand how managing side effects plays a pivotal role in overall patients’ experience. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our expert clinicians are adept at handling various complications associated with IUD usage—be it spotting between periods or prolonged menstrual bleeding—and offer effortless resolution strategies tailored uniquely for each woman.
We respect every woman’s prerogative to decide the fit for their contraception methods. Women Health Group Chicago offers a diverse array of alternatives to IUDs like oral contraceptive pills, vaginal rings, implants, injectables, etc., in those cases where clients yearn something other than an IUD. Let our team guide you through alternative choices and help tailor the perfect solution for your reproductive health.
For unplanned situations that require swift medical assistance, our clinic provides optimal emergency contraception options with utmost confidentiality and promptness. Our healthcare professionals are ready to ensure immediate access to services like morning-after pill or copper IUD insertion when regular contraceptive measures fail or are missed out.

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.
