Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that numerous questions and concerns come up when it comes to having a hysterectomy. With our pre-surgical counseling and evaluation service, we aim to bring clarity and comfort by providing necessary information about the procedure’s benefits, risks, and implications for your overall health. Our experienced team of healthcare professionals will perform comprehensive evaluations, including medical checks and diagnostic tests to ensure suitability for surgery.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a modern technique utilized by Womens Health Group Chicago that ensures fewer incisions during the hysterectomy procedure. It involves inserting a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) through small abdominal cuts to visualize the surgeon’s work inside. The advantage of this method includes shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, less scarring compared to traditional methods, lowering chances of post-operative infection risks.
An Abdominal Hysterectomy is another method practiced at our clinic wherein an incision in the lower abdomen allows direct access to the uterus. This traditional approach can be advantageous depending on patient circumstances such as size or position of uterus or considering any previous pelvic surgeries. Despite being more invasive than laparoscopic options, patients can rely on our proficiency in delivering safe procedures with manageable recovery periods.
For those seeking a less invasive solution without visible scarring after surgery—a vaginal hysterectomy might be suitable. At Womens Health Group Chicago has skilled OBGYNs proficiently remove your uterus via the vagina where no external scars are left behind post-operation—making it cosmetically preferable for some women who prioritize minimal bodily changes from their surgical interventions.
After undergoing these demanding processes, impeccable post-operative care is vital. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we are committed to prioritize your recovery through supportive guidance – ensuring necessary follow-up appointments and addressing any immediate or long-term concerns that might arise after the surgery. We plan a custom-made post-surgery care schedule to track your progress efficiently.
We extend our services beyond surgical procedures; recognizing the body’s demands due to hysterectomy- induced menopause—Womens Health Group Chicago offers hormone replacement therapy for patients adjusting with sudden hormonal fluctuations brought about by this life-changing operation. This service aims at mitigating symptoms such as night sweats, hot flushes, mood swings encountered during transition into non-reproductive phase of female body lifecycle.

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.
