At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and options to make the best choices for their bodies. One such option is hormonal contraceptives. These birth control substances manipulate hormones to prevent pregnancy through various methods such as stopping ovulation or making changes to the cervical mucus and uterine lining. Available forms include birth control pills, patches, injections, rings, and implants – each characterized by specific benefits and potential side effects.
Our commitment at the Women’s Health Group Chicago is providing you with an arsenal of choices that fit your lifestyle. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are effective yet flexible modes of contraception offering a duration ranging from three years to a decade depending on the type used. These include intrauterine devices (IUDs) or subdermal contraceptive implants which can be removed any time desired fertility returns.
Providing continuity in healthcare means ensuring both safety and variety. Barrier methods represent another area of offered services at Womens Health Group Chicago intended for sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention along with its contraceptive functions. This includes condoms (male & female), diaphragms, caps alongside spermicidal foams, gels among others which block sperm access into uterus hence averting possible fertilization.

Our team at Women’s Health Group Chicago carefully guides through this vital decision due its irreversible nature employing techniques like sterilization via tubal ligation or vasectomy referral for male partners thereby levitating worry about unintentional pregnancies post-decision.
