Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer an excellent range of services for your contraception needs. Our IUD insertion as well as the removal service is carried out by our medical professionals with utmost delicacy and care. We guide you through each step of the process, providing detailed information about what to expect and how to manage after the procedure.
Recognizing that every woman’s body responds differently to various types of contraceptive devices, we provide comprehensive counseling on different types of Intrauterine Devices (IUD). This session will empower you with knowledge on which type best fits your individual health requirement and lifestyle choice. Rest assured, at Womens Health Group Chicago our healthcare practitioners strive towards identifying solutions that are both safe & personalized for every patient.
The wellbeing of our patients remains a primary concern even after procedures have been carried out. For this reason, we maintain rigorous follow-ups post-IUD placement. During these sessions, monitoring includes checking for correct position or possible displacement of the device along with addressing any discomfort or issues; under our watchful attention no complications go unnoticed or unaddressed.
Even though most women find intrauterine devices highly beneficial in meeting their family planning requirements without serious side-effects, sometimes minor issues like spotting may arise post-insertion – all easily manageable! At Women’s Health Group Chicago we stand committed not just to treat but also educate you on managing such eventualities effectively while comprehensively catering any potential risk factors right from early identification to treatment.
However effective an intrauterine device might be in preventing unplanned pregnancies it might not suit everyone likewise so other forms of contraception could be more effective or preferred. Hence, we at Women’s Health Chicago also walk you through various other contraception alternatives that can work just as well for contraceptive needs based on individual preferences and health assessments.
Unforeseen circumstances demand immediate solutions! At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we extend services in emergency contraception too. This could involve the use of pills designed to prevent pregnancy post-unprotected intercourse or if other methods have failed. Our priority is to provide trusted, safe and confidential care ensuring your peace of mind in every sensitive circumstance.

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.
