Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we pride our clinic in providing comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for women seeking a hysterectomy. This initial step is essential to ensure your body’s readiness for surgery as well as mentally prepare you for what to expect. Our medical professionals listen attentively to understand your specific health concerns, review your physical condition and medical history thoroughly, enabling us to propose the most effective treatment plan personalized according to your unique needs.
Minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomies are professionally conducted at the Womens Health Group Chicago. If conditions allow, opting for a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy can be a less strenuous route introduced through tiny incisions made in the abdomen or cervix assisted by high-tech cameras and precise surgical instruments. It offers quicker recovery time, fewer complications post-operation with minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgeries making it increasingly popular amongst Douglas females.
For cases where larger tumors are present or if there are higher chances of cancerous growths occurring, an abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended by our world-class specialists at our clinic. Despite being more intrusive than its laparoscopic counterpart due to the requirement of a wide incision around either bikini line or middle abdomen area; this tried-and-tested route facilitates thorough on-ground surgical explorations should unforeseen complexities arise during operation therefore bolstering patient safety.
As an alternative option designed primarily for patients not planning future pregnancies or cervical malignancies worries; Vaginal Hysterectomies hold their appeal since no external wound would exist post-procedure hence aesthetically appealing coupled with shorter hospitalizations required together increased lower discomfort levels experienced during recovery.
Our dedicated team at Womens Health Group Chicago is committed to supporting you not only throughout the process of hysterectomy, but also ensuring your smooth transition during your post-operative recovery. We offer a detailed roadmap for recovery alongside catered rehabilitation programs all constructed on the foundation of therapeutic care accompanied by auxiliary medical advice tailored to suit individual healing paces hence expediting full restoration soonest possible.
An integral component to balance rebuilding post-hysterectomy includes Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT). Our specialists would engage in detailed consultancy mechanisms presenting a panoramic view of potentials and repercussions associated with such therapies making sure our patients are fully aware in their decisions they undertake moving forth. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we meticulously strategize these procedures whilst administering precision driven HRT plans thus providing holistic treatment encouraging sustainable health with optimal results achieved thanks to our unrivalled expertise vested in women’s wellbeing within Douglas community.

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.
