Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, our team of highly skilled medical professionals are dedicated to providing safe and accurate IUD insertion and removal. The process can be naturally intimidating but we ensure a comfortable experience for all our patients in the Westmont area. We understand that each woman’s body is different, hence we aim to personalize every procedure, acknowledging the uniqueness of each patient.
Understanding the diverse options when it comes to intrauterine devices (IUDs) is crucial before making any decision. Our knowledgeable OBGYN experts offer comprehensive counseling sessions on different types of IUDs available today. They’ll guide you through the benefits, potential side effects, and important information you need to make an informed choice about what fits best with your lifestyle and health needs.
The care provided at Women’s Health Group Chicago does not stop after your IUD insertion; follow up is an integral part of our services. Adequate monitoring post-insertion serves as a precautionary measure against complications or misplacements which may occur subtly without obvious symptoms. Henceforth, reassuring your peace of mind while using an IUD as a contraceptive method.
Side effects from an IUD can vary widely among women – some might experience severe cramps while others may have irregular bleeding patterns initially. Our healthcare experts work closely with patients experiencing difficulty by managing these side effects effectively via personalized treatments plans thereby minimizing discomfort associated with their use.
While many find satisfaction with Intrauterine Devices (IUD), it isn’t suited for everyone due various individual factors such as prevailing medical conditions or personal preference etc. For those looking towards other options, we provide extensive counseling on alternative methods of contraception as well. Exploring other options such as pills, patches or implants with our professionals can help you in choosing a most compatible contraceptive solution.
We understand there might be unforeseen circumstances where conventional contraceptives might have failed to work. In those instances, the Women’s Health Group Chicago offers immediate guidance and service for emergency contraception. Regardless of your situation, it is crucial to make this decision under professional advisement – and our team will ensure that you’re not alone during these critical moments.

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.
