Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand the importance of thorough preparation before a major surgery such as a hysterectomy. Our dedicated team in Avondale offers comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluations to ensure you are physically and mentally prepared for your procedure. By discussing the process step-by-step, addressing any concerns or fears you may have, we strive to make this journey smoother for you.
Our clinic specializes in laparoscopic hysterectomy services because of its minimally invasive nature with quicker recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional procedures. This procedure is carried out through small incisions using a laparoscope providing us direct visual guidance throughout the operation. The expertise of our staff at Women’s Health Group Chicago makes it an ideal option for women who value quality healthcare that helps minimize discomfort during their healing process.
The Womens’ Health Group Chicago also provides abdominal hysterectomies when appropriate or necessary; this is typically done in cases where large fibroids or cancer presence is suspected. In this procedure, our seasoned surgeons remove the uterus through a larger cut made on your tummy making it easy to reach and operate the site effectively while giving us more room to work if required.
Vaginal Hysterectomy offered by our clinic involves removing your womb through an incision inside your vagina which leaves no outward scar—a preferred choice by many women seeking minimal exterior evidence post-operation. Rest assured that all our surgeries are performed following best medical practices prioritizing comfort, safety as well as fast-tracks recovery letting you resume normal activities.
We don’t just perform successful procedures but are equally committed towards excellent aftercare services. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we guide you throughout your healing journey with our personalized post-operative care and recovery plan that includes detailed health education, medication guidance, nutrition plans as well as scheduled follow-ups to ensure a seamless healing experience.
It’s common for women to undergo hormonal changes after a hysterectomy which may lead to discomforts like hot flashes or joint pain. We are proud to offer Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) at our Avondale clinic; these treatments can help balance estrogen levels thereby reducing menopause-like symptoms while enhancing the quality of life post-surgery. Let us help you manage this transition ensuring optimal health outcomes in your surgical journey.

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.
