Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we place a high value on you enjoying your life while feeling confident and secure in your healthcare decisions. One important aspect of this is managing fertility through the use of hormonal contraceptives. Our team of experienced professionals works with each patient to help choose the best approach based on their unique health profile and personal preferences. From oral pills to contraceptive patches and shots, we offer many different forms of hormone-based birth control that can be customized to fit your needs.
For those seeking longer-term solutions without permanency, Women’s Health Group Chicago also offers long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Examples include intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants, which provide reliable pregnancy prevention for several years at a time but can also be easily removed if circumstances change. We understand that ease and flexibility are essential when it comes to controlling fertility – making LARCs an optimal choice for many women in Skokie.
In our commitment towards personalized care around the clock, Women’s Health Group Chicago extends its services beyond hormonal options to incorporate barrier methods as well. As these methods block sperm from entering the uterus, they play a crucial role as an effective form of birth control whilst offering certain STD protection as well. This range may consist anything from diaphragms and cervical caps to male & female condoms -providing further armor in maintaining both effusive sexual health overall.
When you feel confident about not having children in future or simply have completed your family already – permanent birth control could serve as optimal solution.Your trusted advisors at Womens’ Health Group Chicago have the expertise needed to safely conduct surgical procedures such as tubal ligation or sterilization implants for women considering these permanent options. We prioritize safety and comfort, helping you to make truly informed decision about your health care.
Crucial elements of comprehensive women’s healthcare are undoubtedly immediate solutions when regular birth control doesn’t go as planned or unexpected situations arise. The Women’s Health Group Chicago team is readily available to guide those in Skokie through using emergency contraception methods effectively in such cases. This could include morning-after pills that work predominately by stopping the release of an egg, thus enhancing the chance for worry-free moments post unprotected intercourse.
Women’s Health Group Chicago also supports its patients who prefer natural means of controlling conception by teaching effective fertility awareness methods (FAMs). Our skilled team can educate on tracking menstrual cycles accurately, mapping out “safe” days where chances of getting pregnant remain minimal. Such tailored method offers a platform towards understanding one’s body even better without having implications from hormones or procedures – making it great choice indeed for many in our diverse Skokie community.
