Skip to content Our well-trained team at Women’s Health Group Chicago offers IUD insertion and removal services using a stringent, professional approach. We understand the complexities that come with this procedure; as such, we provide personalized attention to every patient during these procedures. Whether you are having an IUD inserted for the first time or desire a kind and experienced hand for its removal, our clinic is equipped to manage each process efficiently.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we value informed decision-making when it comes to your health. Therefore, counseling on different types of IUDs is an integral part of our service repertoire. Our certified OBGYN practitioners spend considerable time explaining all aspects related to various types of IUDs available – hormonal and non-hormonal including their merits & demerits – empowering you to make a choice that suits your lifestyle best.
Our dedicated care does not conclude once the procedure ends; instead, we focus intensively on follow-up visits and constant monitoring after the insertion. Regular check-ups allow us to ensure proper placement of the device while identifying any potential anomalies before they escalate into complications. We’re committed to ensuring complete comfort throughout your journey towards effective contraception in Norwood Park.
Many women experience temporary side effects immediately following the insertion of their intrauterine device (IUD). The Womens’ Health Group Chicago understands how bothersome these can be and has designed specialized services aimed at managing side effects effectively so you can go about your life comfortably post-IUD insertion without disruptions due to unforeseen complications.
We also appreciate that every woman’s needs are unique which may dictate exploring alternatives beyond standard IUDs. Our range of contraceptive solutions is expansive and tailored to cater to these varied buds of requirements effectively. From different types of birth-control pills, patches, rings, injections—to barrier methods or even family planning—we provide all-round guidance throughout your contraceptive journey.
Our priority at Womens Health Group Chicago is to ensure that you are safe and protected in any situation. Therefore, we also specialize in providing emergency contraception to women who might need it due to unfortunate circumstances like unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.
We always treat such situations with the utmost urgency and confidentiality while offering counseling on both over-the-counter options as well as prescription medicine.
At our clinic in Norwood Park, rest assured that you would be met with genuine care and professionalism for any contraception needs you may have.

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.
