Skip to content At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we provide an array of professional services for women across Pullman, including safe and secure Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion and removal. Our experienced team ensures a seamless procedure while prioritizing your wellbeing and comfort throughout each process. We offer comprehensive pre-insertion counseling to understand your health history, alongside utilizing advanced methods for both processes that minimize discomfort.
Understanding the types of IUDs is essential in determining what will work best according to your personal needs or lifestyle. At our clinic based in Pullman city, we dedicate time to guide you through the various types of IUDs – from hormonal variants like Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena and Liletta to non-hormonal options such as Paraguard Copper T380A. Our expert counselors are here to answer all your concerns regarding each option.
Our services at Women’s Health Group Chicago do not end with the insertion procedure; instead, they extend beyond it. We prioritize regular follow-ups post-IUD placement until we’re sure that our patient has fully adapted without complications. These ensure early detection if any issues arise post-procedure that need immediate attention from our health providers.
While IUDs generally have a low side effect profile, there can be occasional complications or ill effects. Fear not! Within this spectrum lies one of our strengths – having expertise in managing side effects linked with using intrauterine devices effectively so you may return safely back into your day-to-day life activities very soon after experiencing these hurdles.
We believe absolute trust between healthcare provider and user involves discussing the entire range of contraceptive options. That means well beyond IUDs as well. If you’re not entirely convinced by or comfortable with this method, our knowledgeable staff is happy to guide you through other kinds of contraceptives like birth control pills, patches or rings.
We are committed to address all potential fertility-related emergencies at Women’s Health Group Chicago, including emergency contraception services for those unexpected moments that need immediate attention and quick solutions. We offer both over-the-counter and prescription emergency contraceptives in a safe, confidential environment where your health is always prioritized. Let us assist you – trust us when we say any woman in such a situation can count on us.

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.
