Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, our focus is to provide comprehensive care for women across Lincolnwood. For those seeking long-term contraceptive solutions, we offer safe and minimally invasive IUD (intrauterine device) insertion and removal services. Our skilled professionals are experienced in both procedures and guarantee minimal discomfort throughout the process. We employ expert techniques in IUD insertion or removal while taking into consideration your comfort and wellbeing at every step.
The decision to use an IUD as a method of contraception comes with various options – hormonal and copper-based devices being the most common. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer detailed counseling on different types of IUDs that can help you make an informed decision about your reproductive health. During these sessions, our professional team explains the benefits, possible side effects, duration of effectiveness, what to expect during insertion among other tailored responses to meet your specific needs.
We understand that proper follow-up care is essential after undergoing an IUD placement procedure. Patients from all over Lincolnwood trust us for thorough monitoring post-insertion using state-of-the-art technology combined with holistic health assessment methods. Regular checkups will ensure the device is properly positioned without causing any complications such as migration or expulsion while also making note of any adverse reactions.
Our role doesn’t just stop at inserting or removing your intrauterine device; we carry out dedicated service towards managing potential side effects too. While unlikely, it’s important to have medical support on hand if complications arise following IOD usage such as irregular bleeding or discomfort. The experts at Womens Health Group Chicago will monitor these symptoms attentively ensuring maximum relief with swift resolution tactics based on each individual case.
Every woman has unique needs and while IUD may be the perfect fit for some, others may require different contraception solutions. We openly discuss alternatives to IUDs including hormonal medications, barrier methods, and permanent sterilization options. It’s our commitment at Womens Health Group Chicago to offer personalized advice grounded on your life stage, medical history, and lifestyle choices.
We understand that none of the contraceptive methods are 100% foolproof, hence we also cater for emergency contraceptive services to Lincolnwood women who have had unprotected sexual intercourse or in case contraception used failed. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide prompt counseling on applicable short-term measures like morning-after pills as well as potential long-term strategies fitting your individual requirements.

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.
