Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we strive to provide quality healthcare services tailored for women. One of our highlighted services is the insertion and removal of Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs). Our highly skilled OBGYN specialists are proficient in conducting these procedures seamlessly. We ensure your comfort throughout the process while providing effective contraception solutions that suit your lifestyle.
We understand that not all methods work equally well for everyone. Therefore, before offering any service, we ensure there’s detailed counseling involved on different types of IUDs available. Each type has unique qualities ranging from hormonal to non-hormonal; varied longevity periods as well as side-effects profiles amongst others factors to consider when selecting a suitable birth control method.
Your care does not end with the procedure at Womens Health Group Chicago; post-procedure monitoring is a crucial part of our service delivery model. Our follow-ups include regular check-ups, along with guidance on proper aftercare techniques ensuring your continuous wellness after IED insertion.
Notice something amiss? Women’s health group Chicago is dedicated towards swiftly mitigating potential complications that might arise from IUD usage – be it cramps or spotting or more serious concerns like infections or migration of device deeply into uterine wall – you can rely on us for quick diagnosis & treatment 24/7 ensuring your safety stays paramount..
Not comfortable with an intrauterine device? No problem! There are numerous other methods available if you prefer an alternate route to family planning measures rather than opting for an IUD contraceptive device – pills, patch, ring…the list goes on- and our experts will guide you through the process, so that your final decision is well informed.
Unexpected situations call for immediate solutions.. There’s always a plan B – or rather “morning-after pill” in our case at Womens Health Group Chicago. We offer emergency contraceptive services to prevent undesired pregnancies if ever need be. Remember, it’s never too late to seek professional help when uncertainty strikes – our specialists are here for you day and night providing confidential support you can trust.

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.
