Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide professional services for IUD insertion and removal. Our team of experts ensures that the procedure is carried out accurately, ensuring minimum discomfort to our patients. Whether you decide it’s time to start a family or simply wish better control over your menstrual cycles, we support your health goals with gentle, skilled IUD removals.
IUD options can be confusing! Let us simplify them for you! There are several types of intrauterine devices (IUD’s) available – each having its own set of benefits and side effects. We will sit with you in Romeoville and answer every question about hormonal vs copper-based IUDs which both function differently but effectively prevent unwanted pregnancy.
The care provided at Womens Health Group Chicago doesn’t end with just the IUD insertion; we believe consistent follow-up visits are crucial after the installation process too. Regular monitoring allows us to ensure that everything functions properly, minimizing potential complications while maximizing effectiveness.
Like any medical treatment or procedure, using an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) may have side effects even though they’re rare. Our committed professionals in Romeoville avail themselves when needed most to manage these unpredictable circumstances swiftly—to allow our patients who choose this form of contraception continue enjoying their lives uninterrupted by unforeseen physical circumstances.
We understand that not everyone might be comfortable or suitable for an IUD; hence, at Women’s Health Group Chicago we endorse multiple birth control methods as alternatives: from contraceptive implants to certain types of birth-control pills — all depending on individual needs satiated through comprehensive consultations to ensure fully informed decisions, which is integral to our care giving ethos.
In case of a contraceptive mishap or unprotected intercourse, Women’s Health Group Chicago provides emergency contraception solutions as well. Our team will explain your options and help you make an informed decision based on your personal situation and health history. Our goal always remains the comfort, safety, and overall wellbeing of our patients in Romeoville community.

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.
