Skip to content The expert team at Womens Health Group Chicago is highly knowledgeable and experienced in Hormonal Contraceptive methods. This family of contraceptives includes birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings, injections, and implants that release hormones to prevent pregnancy. Our healthcare professionals work closely with you to identify the most suitable method tailored to your specific needs. We believe in educating our clients about each option’s benefits and possible side effects so they can make an informed decision regarding their care.
At Womens Health Group Chicago serving Willow Springs, we firmly believe that every woman must have control over her reproductive health. Therefore, we offer Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives(LARCs) options including intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants which require minimal effort once inserted. These LARCs can provide protection against unplanned pregnancies for several years while maintaining the possibility of future fertility should you choose.
We understand that hormonal or invasive solutions may not be suited for everyone; henceforth we also provide Barrier Methods as a choice for contraception. These include diaphragms and condoms which form a physical barrier preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg. There are fewer systemic side effects associated with these methods making them a premier choice among many women who wish to avoid any hormone-related changes.
If you’re certain about ending your childbearing years or don’t intend to start a family at all, Permanent Birth Control could be on your radar. The process known medically as sterilization is available here at Women’s Health Group Chicago through procedures such as tubal ligation or hysteroscopic sterilization – offering guaranteed peace of mind without having to worry about ongoing contraceptive measures anymore!
In life, things may not always go according to plan and you might require a form of contraception after unprotected sex. Women’s Health Group Chicago wraps around the residents of Willow Springs with readily accessible, effective Emergency Contraception methods. These include morning-after pills and IUD installations that can reduce chances of conception if administered soon enough after intercourse.
Lastly, for those who prefer a natural approach towards pregnancy prevention or planning – Fertility Awareness Method is an ideal choice. Through close monitoring of the menstrual cycle’s nuances along with careful observation of other signs like body temperature and cervical mucus changes, it becomes possible to predict peak fertile periods in the month. At Womens Health Group Chicago we aim to guide you closely through this journey ensuring your complete understanding and control over your reproductive health.
