Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we comprehend that surgery, especially a hysterectomy, can be an emotionally challenging period for women. That’s why our highly professional team set utmost priority on pre-surgical counseling and evaluation to ensure you make informed decisions regarding your health. Our healthcare professionals will guide you through the entire surgical process, discussing all possible alternatives and potential risks involved in hysterectomy procedures. This allows every patient from South Shore to decide what suits her best.
Our clinic distinguishes itself by maintaining state-of-the-art technology performing minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic hysterectomies. The procedure involves small incisions made within the abdomen or cervix through which special surgical instruments are inserted to remove part or all of the uterus. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy constitutes one of today’s safest options with shorter recovery time, minimal scarring, reduced pain post-operation compared to traditional open surgery methods.
Women’s Health Group Chicago prides itself on skilled surgeons experienced in abdominal hysterectomies – a type of surgery wherein the uterus is removed via an incision made within the lower abdomen area. Whilst this method may require longer healing periods than others, it can sometimes provide a good approach depending on certain medical conditions like large uterine fibroids or certain types of gynecological cancer.
Our compassionate doctors also offer vaginal hysterectomies whereby the uterus is removed through an incision inside the vagina without any external scars being visible afterward. With less discomfort and rapid recovery times allowing people to return home sooner, it ensures patients across South Shore receive cost-effective treatment without compromising top-quality care standards.
Ensuring a swift and smooth recovery is as crucial to us at Women’s Health Group Chicago, as your surgical procedure itself. We provide ongoing support and comprehensive guidelines for post-operative care including pain management strategies, activity limitation information and signals to watch for any possible complications. Regular check-ups are also scheduled with physicians to monitor the healing process, ensuring all our South Shore patients recover in comfort and safety.
Surgical procedures like hysterectomies might potentially disrupt hormonal balance within women’s bodies causing several health issues such as menopausal symptoms or osteoporosis. The compassionate medical team at Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) designed specifically for each patient’s needs that helps restore hormone levels addressing these problems effectively.

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.
