We employ the use of state-of-the-art technology and follow stringent hygiene protocols to ensure your experience is as pain-free as possible.
Just as every woman is unique, not all IUDs are created equal either. The team at Womens Health Group Chicago fully understands this distinction; hence offers tailored counseling on various types of IUDs available today – hormonal or non-hormonal – copper-based ones included – to ensure you make an informed decision that aligns with your body’s needs & lifestyle.
Your well-being doesn’t stop once the IUD is placed – it’s only just begun. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our healthcare service extends beyond just initial procedures- regular follow-ups & monitoring post-insertion form a crucial part of it too. Patients around Washington Park trust us because alongside professional handling during insertion/removal appointments, we prioritize consistent check-ins thereafter to monitor any developments and rectify concerns swiftly should they arise.
Side effects can occur after acquiring an IUD, but don’t worry! Your health remains at the center of what we do here at Womens Health Group Chicago. Should you experience complications such as heavy bleeding or severe discomfort after getting an IUD fitted: know this first-hand — help exists right around the corner for those residing even down at Washington Park!
If an IUD isn’t right for you, there are other contraception options available. We at Womens Health Group Chicago take pride in our comprehensive approach to women’s health, which includes counseling & provision of alternate contraceptive methods like birth control pills, implants, patches and more. The choice remains ever personal and we stand ready to guide you every step of the way.
When contraceptives fail or unforeseen circumstances arise needing urgent preventive measures; the Womens Health Group Chicago lends its expertise for emergency contraception management too. At any hour, our trained professionals offer the required assistance that prioritizes your safety above all so Washington Park inhabitants can rest assured they’re always cared for!

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.
