Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand that choosing to undergo a hysterectomy is a significant decision. Our comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services are designed to ensure you have all the information needed to make informed decisions about your health. These sessions cover detailed discussions about the surgical procedure, possible risks, benefits, alternatives, and what steps should be taken before surgery for optimal outcomes.
Our team at Women’s Health Group Chicago specializes in performing Laparoscopic Hysterectomies – an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that has revolutionized how hysterectomies are conducted. This technique uses small incisions instead of large ones traditionally made during open surgeries which result in faster recovery times, less post-operative discomfort and shorter hospital stays.
Abdominal Hysterectomy is another service we provide proficiently at Womens Health Group Chicago. It’s often recommended when other treatments aren’t working or it’s impossible to examine the total size and shape of the uterus through laparoscopy. The procedure involves removing the uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen ensuring meticulous care to minimize any potential complications.
For those residing around West Garfield Park seeking medical attention relating hysterectomy procedures can depend on our expertise specifically for Vaginal Hysterectomies as well. This type of operation eliminates need for abdominal incisions thus reducing scarring along with aiding quicker recovery compared to conventional methods while maintaining equally effective results.
Every woman who entrusts her care with us receives dedicated support even after her surgical process ends. We promote holistic recovery from any form of hysterectomy with personalized post-surgery care plans encompassing pain management, post-operative physiotherapy if required, and regular follow-ups to monitor recovery progress.
Lastly but importantly, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Hysterectomy can dramatically alter the hormonal balance in a woman’s body leading to potential side effects. Our specialists effectively utilize HRT as a countermeasure to help manage those changes and ensure our patients’ wellbeing improves continuously after surgery.

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.
