Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer expert care for IUD insertion and removal. Our highly trained practitioners apply a patient-centric approach prioritizing your comfort throughout the process. We make use of the latest medical technologies to ensure a seamless procedure with minimal discomfort. Prior to beginning, our team will discuss what you should expect during and after the process. Whether it’s your first IUD or if you’ve chosen to switch from one type of intrauterine device to another, rest assured that you are in capable hands.
Choosing an ideal contraceptive method can be confusing due to numerous available options. This is why Womens Health Group Chicago offers informative counseling sessions detailing different types of IUDs – hormonal and copper-based devices along with their respective benefits and potential side effects. Together we’ll help determine which kind fits best with your lifestyle, health needs, and future family planning goals.
IUD placement isn’t where our responsibility ends; ensuring your well-being post-insertion also forms part of our comprehensive service package at Womens Health Group Chicago. Through follow-up appointments and regular monitoring after insertion, we track how your body is responding to the device over time – thus ensuring optimal health outcomes for our patients based in West Englewood.
Any form of contraception may come with its own set of potential side effects or complications but managing these effectively can increase user satisfaction significantly while reducing discontinuation rates due to adverse impacts on individual’s health or lifestyle changes. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we proactively guide our patients about possible reactions related to each type of IUD type like menstrual cycle changes or pelvic pain among others so they’re fully informed when making this crucial decision about their health.
The Womens Health Group Chicago recognizes that every woman’s needs are unique and an IUD may not be the best fit for everybody. For this reason, we provide comprehensive guidance on alternatives to IUDs such as oral contraceptives, vaginal rings, diaphragms, cervical caps among others. Our healthcare professionals thrive in providing tailored advice that takes both your lifestyle factors and biological requirements into account when helping you decide the most suitable contraceptive option.
In situations requiring emergency contraception, the Women’s Health Group Chicago is fully equipped to offer patient-centric services while ensuring confidentiality at every step of the process. We counsel on various emergency options including morning-after pills and copper-based intrauterine devices which can be used depending on the particular circumstances of each case after a thorough consultation with our experienced clinicians.

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.
