Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the significance of professional care when it comes to IUD insertion and removal procedure. Our expert team performs these procedures with utmost attention, making sure that our patients experience minimum discomfort. We use state-of-the-art medical tools for safe insertions and removals while maintaining a warm, approachable environment where you can feel at ease knowing your wellness is a priority.
There are different types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) each offering unique benefits&mdashfrom hormonal versions that adjust menstrual cycles to copper variants which serve as a long-term solution for birth control. As is common with any health choice, you may have queries on what type suits you best or how they function; our knowledgeable staff provides comprehensive information sessions regarding such matters thereby helping make an informed decision about your reproductive health.
One key aspect of our commitment to women’s healthcare goes beyond mere procedures; we strive towards ensuring positive post-procedure experiences too. Once an IUD is implanted by us at Womens Health Group Chicago, regular follow-ups are scheduled for monitoring purposes. Patient concerns like general well-being after insertion to checking correct placement of the device are actively attended during these sessions showing continued full support from us in maintaining their reproductive health.
While efficient as contraceptives, IUDs could potentially cause side effects ranging from minor discomfort to more serious complications. At Womens Health Group Chicago we work towards reducing these adverse situations providing effective measures against them meticulously managing all potential side effects associated with both hormonal and non-hormonal IUD types through careful monitoring & prompt action when required.
We understand that IUDs might not be a viable solution for everyone. In such cases, it’s vital to have access to a range of alternative contraception methods. Our team at Womens Health Group Chicago broadens your horizons, exploring choices from birth control pills and patches to sterilization options or fertility awareness-based techniques—empowering you with all the information required for deciding what best fits into your lifestyle.
A critical aspect in women’s health services we extend is emergency contraception service; acknowledging that in certain scenarios prevention fails & immediate action becomes crucial. The professionals at our clinic are trained to swiftly offer solutions like emergency contraceptive pills and copper IUD insertion within stipulated timeframes minimizing chances of unplanned pregnancy significantly rendering support when needed most.

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.
