This approach leaves minimal scarring due to small incisions made during surgery. At Womens Health Group, we strive to provide state-of-the-art treatments where recovery time is minimized without compromising the quality of care rendered.
For some cases, an abdominal hysterectomy might be the best course of action given certain medical conditions or complications. As part of this method, one larger cut made rather than several smaller ones which allows direct access to uterus but requires more healing time compared with other kinds of hysterectomies- while still maintaining its position as a safe and effective treatment option at Women’s Health Group Chicago for patients in need.
Womens Health Group Chicago provides vaginal hysterectomies – another advantageous type for specific circumstances because it involves fewer complications overall than an abdominal version along with shorter hospital stays involved afterward too!

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.
