Skip to content Womens Health Group Chicago provides comprehensive guidance on Hormonal Contraceptives, ensuring women in Washington Park have the necessary information to make informed choices. We provide a wide range of hormonal contraceptives such as pills, patches, injections and vaginal rings not only for preventing pregnancy but also useful in stabilizing menstrual cycle irregularities. Our expert medical practitioners are always available to help you understand how these contraceptives function i.e., by regulating your hormones to control ovulation.
Embracing advancements in modern medicine means offering excellent services like Long-acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). For women seeking a longer-lasting method of contraception, LARCs including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants offer high performance rates with little worry about daily administration. Our professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago can explain this option further during an appointment, so women across Washington Park can choose what works best for them.
As part of our commitment to fulfilling diverse needs for birth control, we offer advice regarding Barrier Methods. This way we allow individuals who might be sensitive or allergic to hormonal-based methods an opportunity still to protect themselves. Transitional barrier methods which include condoms or diaphragms create physical obstacles that prevent sperm from reaching the egg during intercourse – showcasing some alternatives accessible with us being practiced safely within the heart of Washington Park.
We understand that not all families plan on expanding; therefore we cover decisions revolving around Permanent Birth Control procedures like sterilization as well. A more definitive solution compared to other previous options mentioned earlier – they involve minor surgical practices under professional care provided by seasoned staff members at Womens Health Group Chicago dedicated towards helping Washington Park residents select Procedures tailored specifically according their family needs.
In case of unforeseen circumstances where regular methods fail or were not employed, we provide information and solutions related to Emergency Contraception. Our team is ready to thoroughly explain your options such as emergency contraceptive pills (morning-after pills) or the placement of a copper IUD that can prevent unwanted pregnancies in high-risk scenarios. We encourage women throughout Washington Park to contact us for advice on this time-sensitive matter.
Womens Health Group Chicago also prioritizes education around Fertility Awareness Methods, which enable you predict safe and fertile days in your menstrual cycle based on body cues like temperature and cervical mucus changes. This organically centered method is gaining traction among women who wish for natural birth control mechanisms. Constant knowledge dissemination rounds off our commitment towards empowering every woman across Washington Park regarding her reproductive health choices.
