Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we focus on empowerment through knowledge and providing comprehensive healthcare options. One such option is our IUD insertion and removal services. Our team of dedicated OBGYN professionals performs all procedures with the utmost care ensuring minimal discomfort. We understand that any gynecological procedure can be stressful, which is why we maintain a gentle approach throughout to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
There are many types of intrauterine devices (IUDs), each with different benefits and risks. To help you make an informed decision about what’s best for you, Womens Health Group Chicago offers personalized counseling sessions discussing various types of IUDs including hormonal, copper, and non-hormonal types. With years of experience in women’s health management across Lincoln Square area in Chicago, our expert advice will aid you to select the most suitable device according to your bodily needs and lifestyle preferences.
Consistent follow-ups after IUD insertion is crucially important to ensure optimal effectiveness while minimizing potential complications or side effects. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your well-being by providing attentive post-insertion monitoring services performed by experts in the field. Each check-in appointment serves not only to assess the proper placement of your device but also addresses any questions or concerns that may arise during this time.
While IUDs are a safe method for long-term birth control, some minor side effects may occur initially like cramping or irregular menstrual cycles among others . Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, our specially trained staff members offer unparalleled assistance managing any side effects post-IUD placement; from adjusting personal habits contributing towards frequent discomfort or even swapping out one type of I+D for another that will fit your needs better.
We understand that not all birth control methods are right for everyone. For this reason, we provide other contraceptive alternatives apart from IUDs as part of our comprehensive women’s health services. Whether you’re interested in conventional oral contraceptives, the patch, or more permanent solutions such as tubal ligation; our dedicated Chicago team is always on hand to deliver valuable insight and guidance tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
Unexpected situations demand immediate action. We at Womens Health Group Chicago realize that every woman should be equipped with knowledge about emergency contraception options available when faced with unanticipated sexual encounters or failed primary birth control methods. From morning-after pills like Plan B to Ella tablets administered within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse; you can count on us for expert advice and efficient assistance across Lincoln square in Chicago. Our goal is to ensure swift access towards effective emergency protection– because every woman deserves safety and autonomy over her body.

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.
