IUD Placement in Chicago, IL
An intrauterine device, abbreviated as IUD, is a form of birth control that’s inserted inside of your uterus to prevent pregnancy. An IUD can help prevent pregnancy for as long as ten years, depending on the type that you get. There are two main categories of IUDs: copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs don’t contain hormones and prevent pregnancy by releasing copper ions that are toxic to sperm.

Is an IUD Right for You?

Our doctor may suggest doing without the IUD, if:

- You have fibroids or any other uterine condition that may hinder IUD placement
