Skip to content The Women’s Health Group Chicago is a leader in providing comprehensive care for women’s health, including diligent pre-surgical counseling and evaluation. We believe that thorough medical assessments are a crucial part of ensuring safety during and after surgery. Our dedicated team spends time educating our patients about the procedure, risks involved, potential outcomes, and recovery process. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach allows us to determine which type of hysterectomy would be most suitable for each individual patient.
At the Women’s Health Group Chicago clinic, we offer laparoscopic hysterectomies as one of our specialized services. This minimally invasive surgical method involves using small incisions to remove the uterus with state-of-the-art equipment guided by an endoscope inserted into your abdomen. The benefits are substantial – it entails fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries, less scarring post-operation, quicker recovery times making it more desirable for many individuals considering a hysterectomy.
Our experienced surgeons at Women’s Health Group Chicago also perform abdominal hysterecomies where necessary. Though this procedure generally requires larger incisions than laparoscopic methods do due to its direct access nature on the lower abdomen area — hence leading to longer hospital stays —some circumstances might necessitate it over other alternatives based on specific medical conditions or the size of your uterus.
Here at Womens Health Group Chicago clinic, we’re proud to offer vaginal hysterectomies as one safer option for removing a woman’s uterus without any external abdominal cuts or scars – entirely through her vagina—often resulting in reduced pain during recovery stages compared with procedures involving open wounds like traditional abdominal interventions have; addedly lesser infection rates make vaginal operations an appealing choice among varieties available today.
For us at Women’s Health Group Chicago, patient care doesn’t end with the completion of surgery. We avidly focus on post-operative care and recovery to promote faster healing and improve outcomes after a hysterectomy. This includes pain management, assistance in adapting back into your routine life, providing necessary counseling for emotional support if required as well as regular follow-ups to track your progress effectively.
After a hysterectomy procedure, hormone replacement therapy can often be recommended depending upon age or other health factors you present. At Women’s Health Group Chicago we excel at comprehensive treatments which includes meticulous attention even down towards hormonal balance—optimizing both physical feelings seemingly unrelated such as hot flashes or night sweats furthermore mental wellness aspects that hormones can greatly impact 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.
