Skip to content At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we highly emphasize the importance of pre-surgical counseling and evaluation when considering a hysterectomy. It is imperative that each woman is guided through her unique path by carrying out in-depth discussions about potential risks, benefits, and alternatives to surgery. Our team comprises expert clinicians who are proficient at deciphering medical histories and understanding each patient’s concerns to provide them with the most refined course of action. We aim for you to make an informed decision about your health using our personalized evaluative approach.
Our adept OBGYNs specialize in laparoscopic hysterectomies; this minimally invasive surgical procedure has revolutionized women’s healthcare in Summit. Through tiny incisions, your surgeon uses state-of-the-art instruments to execute this precise operation which significantly cuts down recovery time compared to traditional methods. This technologically advanced procedure reduces postoperative discomfort, hence making it a preferred choice among patients.
Abdominal Hysterectomies are sometimes necessary based on certain medical conditions where other forms of hysterectomies may not be viable options. The expertise lying within our team ensures safe execution while aiming to minimize any complications associated with this form of surgery – keeping patient care at the forefront throughout.
As another surgical method offered here at Womens Health Group Chicago, vaginal hysterectomy involves removal of uterus through vagina without any abdominal incision involvement – less scarring means a quicker recovery period for you! Our clinic respects privacy as well as comfort levels during such critical times enhancing one’s experience under our skilled hands.
Every step towards recovery matters at Womens Health Group Chicago, which is why we have put together an extraordinarily patient-centric post-operative care and recovery program. This ranges from management of pain and follow-up services, to emotional support tailored toward each individual woman’s unique needs after undergoing a hysterectomy in Chicago.
In cases where the ovaries are removed along with the uterus during a hysterectomy process, women could potentially face hormonal imbalance. Womens Health Group Chicago provides carefully calibrated Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), effectively restoring the body’s natural hormone levels thus preventing undesirable symptoms often associated with sudden menopause onset due to surgically induced reasons.

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.
