Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of personalized birth control options. One such option is hormonal contraceptives, which work by altering hormone levels to prevent ovulation. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals will provide you with comprehensive information and guidance on various types of hormonal contraceptives such as pills, patches, vaginal rings or injections. In a warm and supportive environment in Western Springs, our goal is to ensure you make an informed decision about your contraceptive choices.
For those looking for long-term but reversible contraception methods, there are Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). With LARC methods including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants under the skin which release hormones over time that prevent pregnancy; these can be effectively used from 3 to 10 years depending upon the kind chosen. At Womens Health Group Chicago in Western Springs, we’ll help you choose a method customized for your specific circumstances while ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
If daily medications aren’t comfortable or convenient for some women seeking short term protection against unplanned pregnancy without any systemic side effects then barrier methods might be an effective alternative. These include condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps etc., all designed to prevent sperm from meeting egg directly during intercourse. We at Chicago Women’s Health Group strongly believe in providing intelligible counsel on various barrier techniques available empowering women further in their pursuit of health care autonomy.
We recognize that not every woman wishes to bear children or may have completed her family size according to personal choice or varied medical reasons: this is when permanent birth control procedures come into play which include tubal ligation & essure sterilization among others . At our Western Springs branch location we provide thorough counseling & perform these procedures with utmost caution to ensure that every woman’s reproductive health decisions are honored & supported.
Unprotected intercourse, contraceptive failure or unfortunate incidents can sometimes lead to the need for emergency contraception. Womens Health Group Chicago provides options like morning-after pills and emergency IUD insertion. We aim at providing immediate assistance with prompt treatment in Western Springs area ensuring access to all possible after-care measures one might seek under such circumstances.
For women who prefer natural options over hormonal contraceptives, Fertility awareness methods can be employed as a birth control measure which involves tracking your menstrual cycle patterns and observing body signals during various fertility stages. Our experts at Women’s Health Group Chicago guide you through this process ensuring its successful implementation if chosen. We continue to support local population in their quest for reliable birth control solutions strengthening the community of Western Springs through our dedicated services.
