Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of professional healthcare advice and services in all matters regarding your reproductive well-being. Our team is committed to supporting women from Lansing with a broad range of procedures including IUD insertion and removal. We believe in empowering you with the necessary knowledge about this process – from what to expect during insertion, after-care guidelines, through to safe removal procedure when need arises.
Making informed decisions means understanding all available options; that’s why we offer counseling on different types of IUDs for clients residing in Lansing area. Learn about hormonal versus non-hormonal options such as Copper T or Mirena amongst others. Discover how each one works differently in preventing pregnancy, their respective benefits, longevity and potential side effects associated. Let our experienced medical staff guide you towards an optimal decision tailored specially for your health needs.
Your safety and peace-of-mind are paramount to us at Womens Health Group Chicago. Hence, providing follow-up care post-IUD insertion is central part of our services offered to Lansing residents- ensuring everything remains perfectly placed while observing continuously for any signs of discomfort or complications following the procedure.
While IUDs are generally considered safe, some women can experience certain side-effects or complications post-insertion–ranging from mild discomfort to more significant issues occurring rare cases like device expulsion or infection. At Womens Health Group Chicago we are dedicated in providing expert assistance aimed at managing these scenarios promptly–remedying pain appropriately if it persists longer than expected or happens abruptly later on.
Different forms of contraception suit different lifestyle choices or medical conditions better than others. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe that knowledge is empowerment—giving you the opportunity to decide what works best for your body. Hence, in addition to IUDs, our clinic provides Lansing clients education on alternative contraceptives such as pills, patches or even sterilization options should they be more suitable.
Marrying expertise and empathy during unplanned scenarios, our clinic stands firm in ensuring immediate response towards emergency contraception needs of Lansing based women. We provide both advice and medical assistance regarding all effective methods including morning-after pill and Copper-T IUD—equipping patients with crucial information needed during these urgent situations.

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.
