Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we believe in providing women the control they need over their bodies. One of our core services includes providing hormonal contraceptives that safely and effectively prevent unwanted pregnancies. These come in various forms – be it pills, patches or injections – each tailored to suit your lifestyle and personal preferences. Our experienced medical team is always available to provide comprehensive consultations to help you understand how these work, the effects on your body and answer any questions you may have.
We also offer long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants for those seeking more significant protection against pregnancy without constant upkeep such as remembering daily medication dosage. These discrete solutions are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, lasting for several years once inserted but can be removed by a healthcare professional whenever you decide. This makes LARCs an excellent choice if you want dependable birth control while keeping future family planning options open.
For women considering non-hormonal methods of contraception, barrier methods might be an effective option. We strive for inclusive health care choices varying from condoms, diaphragms to cervical caps—all designed to prevent sperm from reaching the egg during intercourse—offering an added benefit of STD protection which hormonal methods do not provide. Our dedicated team is there every step of the way offering detailed information on correct usage ensuring maximum efficacy.
Women’s Health Group Chicago understands that some women don’t wish to expand their families further or simply choose not to have children: a decision we deeply respect. Therefore, we facilitate permanent birth control options through procedures such as tubal ligation—a surgical procedure where woman’s fallopian tubes are blocked or closed thereby permanently preventing pregnancy. Our skilled doctors perform this procedure using the latest minimally invasive techniques, ensuring quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
There are times when you may need an immediate solution to prevent unwanted pregnancies like in case of contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. At such times, turn to The Women’s Health Group Chicago for trusted guidance towards emergency contraception options (morning-after pill). Administered within 72 hours after intercourse, it can significantly decrease the risk of conception happening; our team is always on standby offering swift, confidential assistance when needed.
If hormonal contraceptives aren’t suitable or perhaps you prefer a natural birth control method – fertility awareness methods could be your answer. It involves tracking your menstrual cycle and identifying safe periods when chances of conception are very low. This method requires diligence but backed by expert counselling from our experienced staff at Women’s Health Group Chicago; you will find yourself taking charge of your reproductive health with confidence!
