At Womens Health Group Chicago, we place a great emphasis on pre-surgical counseling and evaluation, understanding that adequate information leads to improved patient recovery outcomes. Our dedicated team of experts offers detailed consultation sessions before proceeding with any surgical procedures like a hysterectomy. We conduct comprehensive evaluations involving physical examinations, medical history collection, and necessary diagnostic tests to ascertain your condition.
Our experienced OBGYN specialists at Womens Health Group Chicago are skilled in utilizing advanced techniques such as laparoscopic hysterectomies for the women of Harwood Heights. A Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure enabling quicker recovery times than traditional methods. Through tiny incisions in the abdomen, our surgeons can safely remove the uterus while minimizing pain post-procedure.
For some individuals, an abdominal hysterectomy may be necessary which involves removing the uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen. The primary role of our healthcare providers is to ensure that this procedure culminates with minimal complications while prioritizing precision and safety throughout the surgical process.
Womens Health Group Chicago also specializes in vaginal hysterectomies where our specialist surgeons methodically perform surgery through a sole cut created within the vagina area rather than making any external cuts or incisions around your abdomen area. This technique often leads to less scaring naturally leading towards faster recovery periods after operations.
After any type of hysterectomy procedure performed at our clinic: abdominal, laparoscopic or vaginal; you receive quality post-operational care ensuring you recover swiftly without encountering severe complications. Our team provides guidelines on diet modifications, physical activity restrictions alongside medication prescriptions tailored exactly designed around each patient’s unique recovery pathway.
Apart from surgical interventions, Womens Health Group Chicago also provides hormone replacement therapy. This helps mitigate any hormonal imbalances in patients who have undergone hysterectomies. Balancing hormones subsequently aids the patient’s overall wellbeing and vitality as they transition into their new health phase post-surgery. Consulting with our specialists will allow an understanding of what to expect during this process, ensuring comprehensive holistic care throughout your journey with us at Harwood Heights’ premier womens health clinic.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. It is one of the most common surgeries performed on women in the United States.
A hysterectomy may be necessary to treat a variety of conditions, including:
There are three main types of hysterectomy:
A hysterectomy can be performed through the abdomen (open hysterectomy) or through the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy). Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that is also performed.
Like any surgery, hysterectomy has some risks, including:
After a hysterectomy, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Most women make a full recovery within a few weeks. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to rest as much as possible.
Yes, you will still be able to have sex after a hysterectomy. However, it is important to wait until you are fully recovered from surgery before resuming sexual activity.
No, you will not be able to get pregnant after a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is a permanent form of birth control.
If you are considering a hysterectomy, be sure to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the surgery. Hysterectomy is a major surgery, but it can be a life-changing procedure for women with certain medical conditions.
