Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize your comfort and safety above all else during the IUD insertion process. Our experienced healthcare providers are well-versed in the practice of implanting this type of contraceptive device with utmost precision to ensure minimal discomfort. The method is swift and efficient, typically completed within minutes during a routine outpatient visit. Equally important is our adeptness at safe IUD removal when you choose to cease contraception or switch methods.
We understand that choosing a suitable contraceptive can be confusing given the myriad options available. Our expert team offers comprehensive counseling sessions where they discuss various types of IUDs including hormonal, copper-infused, as well as other forms such as ring-shaped devices. We delve into benefits versus risks analysis for each device type, enabling you to make an informed decision based on your health status, lifestyle demands and personal preferences.
Another crucial aspect of our service model involves diligent follow-ups post-IUD insertion. Periodic monitoring ensures the device remains positioned correctly while allowing us early detection of any potential issues or adverse effects that might require attention. Your wellbeing is our primary concern; hence we urge you to schedule appointments for regular check-ins irrespective of whether there’s an evident problem or not.
While use of IUD generally entails minimal side-effects compared to other contraceptives, some individuals may experience temporary discomfort or irregular cycles initially — both symptoms being easily manageable under professional supervision. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we’ve got you covered when it comes to managing these possible side-effects ensuring seamless integration into your daily routine with no prolonged detrimental impact.
Our commitment at Womens Health Group Chicago is to empowering women by giving them a range of choices, enabling conscientious health decisions. If IUDs are not in alignment with your body or lifestyle, we offer comprehensive information and professional consultations regarding alternative contraceptive methods such as birth control pills, patches, shots or barrier forms including condoms and diaphragms.
Sometimes emergencies arise that necessitate immediate contraception. In such circumstances, our clinic provides counselling on and provision for emergency contraceptives like the morning-after pill rendering assistance at critical times when you need it most. We remain steadfastly dedicated to providing the Morgan Park Community quality care through all their reproductive health needs.

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.
