Skip to content At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, one of our main focal areas is providing expert guidance and offering a range of hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal birth control methods are convenient, effective ways to prevent unplanned pregnancies, maintain menstrual cycle regularity and even reduce symptoms related to certain health conditions like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Whether it’s pills, patches, rings or injections that fit your lifestyle best, we offer personalized advice based on your specific needs to help you make empowered choices about your reproductive health.
Understanding the need for longer-term contraception solutions particularly in busy lives led us at Women’s Health Group Chicago to provide Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC). These ‘fit and forget’ devices such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants provide worry-free protection against pregnancy for several years. Crafted to be safe and highly efficient with little daily interference these are gaining popularity among North Center women seeking reliable but non-permanent birth control options.
If you’re looking for non-hormonal methods of preventing pregnancies then consider barrier contraceptive options available from our clinic. Barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps all work by creating a physical barrier keeping sperm from reaching an egg thereby preventing conception. Our qualified medical team is always there in North Center area ready to guide you through the appropriate use ensuring maximum effectiveness while maintaining safety.
For those certain they do not wish to further expand their families now or in future need quality support which can be found with us at Womens Health Group Chicago. We understand permanent birth control is a significant decision involving careful thought processes involving emotional & physiological aspects hence offer utmost care when catering to these needs. Surgical and non-surgical sterilization options are primarily available, each with its own benefits and potential risks which our experienced team will guide you through.
Accidents happen, it’s part of life. Hence at Womens Health Group Chicago we offer emergency contraception services for those unexpected moments when regular birth control fails or is forgotten. There are a couple of different forms available including capsules taken after your intimate moment or copper IUD insertion several days post act depending on individual scenarios. Our clinicians run you through proper usage ensuring peace of mind during stressful times.
For clients keen to engage in more natural methods connected intrinsically with their bodies’ rhythms they might consider Fertility Awareness methods (FAMs). It requires keeping track of unique biological signs involving menstrual cycles allowing prediction ovulation thus avoiding conception by abstaining from sex at such times should one decide not wanting a child then. We believe imparting the right knowledge & support regarding these techniques allow women generate greater ownership over her fertility leading to profound empowerment.
