This includes both insertion and removal of the device in a comfortable, supportive environment. We understand that this process can potentially cause anxiety for some patients, but rest assured, we dedicate ourselves to ensuring your experience is as smooth as possible. Our highly-skilled professionals guide you through every step of the process with meticulous care and empathy.

Whether it’s hormonal or non-hormonal options you’re considering, we provide balanced information based on the latest research so you can make informed decisions.
Ensuring your well-being post-procedure is similarly vital to us at Womens Health Group Chicago. Follow up appointments are not just procedures; they’re opportunities for us to engage with our patients’ experiences after insertion. Hence, we lay great emphasis on diligent follow-ups and monitoring after every session of IUD insertion to verify optimal functioning & comfort levels.
The reality is that most medical procedures come with a potential for side effects or complications – including using an IUD. Nevertheless, at Womens Health Group Chicago providing individual attention towards managing these instances represent one more area where we excel outstandingly. Entrust any concerns regarding immediate or prolonged term impacted health matters relating to your IUID directly into our capable hands.
We acknowledge that an Intrauterine Device might not always be the best fit for every single woman. Because of this, we extend our consultation to discussing and providing alternatives to IUDs ensuring that you’re always comfortable with the birth control method chosen by you.

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.
