Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the needs of every woman when it comes to birth control. We have a comprehensive range of services that are designed to help women in Shorewood and throughout the greater Chicagoland area make informed choices about their reproductive health. One such offer is hormonal contraceptives. These involve using hormones to prevent ovulation and include pills, patches, shots, vaginal rings among others. Our experienced gynecologists work closely with patients to determine if this method is right for them considering factors like lifestyle, overall health condition and family planning goals.
Comprehending that some women prefer long term but reversible solutions for birth control, our clinic offers Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). They generally require fewer doctor visits and boast high effectiveness rates because they eliminate user error. Offerings here could be intrauterine devices (IUDs) or under-the-skin implants. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide education regarding side effects as also insertion process; making sure you’re well equipped to make this choice.
We value every woman’s autonomy at Womens Health Group Chicago which is why we offer diverse birth control methods including barrier methods. If you live around Shorewood or Chicago proper and are looking for non-hormonal ways of protection against pregnancy – barrier methods might be a suitable option for you! Barrier options such as condoms also serve dual purpose since they protect against sexually transmitted infections.
Our commitment extends beyond offering temporary contraception methods – clients seeking permanent solutions will find themselves aptly serviced within our fold too! Permanent Birth Control procedures like tubal ligation or vasectomy referral services have been carefully curated by our team.
We also strive to provide as much support and guidance as possible in times of emergency, hence offer Emergency Contraception services. For those moments when regular contraception might not have worked or was forgotten; we step in with options like the morning-after pill (Plan B) or a Copper IUD which could afford you peace of mind.
Last but definitely not least, for those who do not prefer using contraceptives, we educate them on Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs). This natural method involves tracking menstrual cycles and recognizing fertility indicators such as body temperature and cervical mucus changes. You can rely on us at Womens Health Group Chicago to help you understand this method effectively thus allowing you further control over your reproductive health.
