At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that every woman has unique contraceptive needs and priorities. Our hormonal contraceptives offer effective birth control solutions tailored to fit your lifestyle. These include pills, patches, injections and vaginal rings designed for consistency in estrogen and progestin release to prevent ovulation. We are dedicated to ensuring that you receive not only the highest quality medical services but also comprehensive information about potential side effects or interactions.
Our Long-acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) options provide reliable protection against unplanned pregnancy without the need for daily intervention. Choices such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or subdermal implants can last up to several years while maintaining reversibility should plans of starting a family emerge. Owing to our patient-centric approach, we prioritize counseling each patient regarding insertions, removal procedures, timeframes as well as after-care requirements during consultations.
Alternatively, if more traditional forms of contraception align with your preferences and comfort levels more closely there’s no place better than Womens Health Group Chicago . Barrier methods such as condoms – male or female – cervical caps and diaphragms serve dual purposes by preventing sperm from meeting an egg while simultaneously protecting against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is our commitment at WHG-Chicago that all information provided is clear-cut and straightforward so informed decisions can be made effortlessly.
For women who’ve decided on not having any further biological children in the future; we also offer permanent birth control procedures like tubal ligation (“tubes tied”) or bilateral salpingectomy(removal of Fallopian tubes). The professionals at WH-GC believe in empowering women through providing them full autonomy over their body. These are relatively quick procedures with short recovery times and we’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.
At WHG Chicago, we understand that accidents happen. Regardless if it’s a forgotten pill or condom mishap; our team is dedicated in extending assistance swiftly and professionally through emergency contraception methods.
