Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in empowering our patients through comprehensive information about their medical procedures. Our experts offer intensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for those considering a hysterectomy. We attentively discuss each step of the process, breaking down complex medical jargon into understandable language to ensure you’re equipped with all the vital facts before making any decision.
Our skilled surgeons in Lemont specialize in Laparoscopic Hysterectomies — a minimally invasive surgical procedure that decreases discomfort and speeds up recovery times for our patients significantly. This procedure includes small incisions made in the abdomen so that specialized tools can be inserted, combined with advanced camera assistance technology; this provides accurate precision during surgery whilst reducing potential risks.
For more complex cases where other forms of hysterectomy may not be feasible or efficient, an Abdominal Hysterectomy might be recommended by our specialists at Womens Health Group Chicago. Despite being a major operation involving larger incisions than laparoscopic methods, it allows greater access for removing large fibroids and treating gynecological cancers— thus achieving healthcare objectives effectively.
Women’s Health Group Chicago also offers Vaginal Hysterectomies as an alternative choice, especially when seeking to minimize visible scarring after surgery. It involves removal of the uterus through vagina instead of abdominal incision which means there will hardly leave any exterior scar marks along with promoting faster healing process due to lesser tissue damage involved.
The healing journey doesn’t end immediately post-operation; it continues within one’s daily routine at home too! That’s why we prioritize enabling optimal post-operative care & recovery plans tailored according to individual patient’s pace and needs. From managing potential discomfort with personalized pain-control methods to advising on gradual resumption of normal activities, we take a holistic approach towards facilitating your road to recovery.
Hysterectomy can often result in significant hormonal changes causing temporary as well as lasting side effects. To counteract this, Womens Health Group Chicago offers personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) specifically designed to restore hormonal balance and ensure overall wellbeing following the procedure. Our medical professionals will thoroughly discuss this option and consider any related concerns so that you feel confident in the care provided.

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.
