Choosing an IUD
Compare hormonal and copper IUDs and learn what to expect from IUD placement at an OB/GYN office in Libertyville.
Intrauterine devices are highly effective, long-acting birth control options. Hormonal IUDs such as Mirena can lighten periods for many patients. The copper Paragard IUD is hormone-free and can last up to ten years.
Placement is an office procedure. Your gynecologist will review medical history, bleeding preferences, and pregnancy plans to help you choose.
Alliance OB/GYN offers IUD counseling and placement in Libertyville. Request an appointment to discuss contraception options.
