Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, your well-being is our top priority. Our pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services offer a comprehensive approach to educating you about all aspects of hysterectomy procedures. We believe that empowering our patients with knowledge not only relieves anxiety but also enables them to make informed decisions regarding their health. This process includes discussing the reasons for surgery, potential risks involved, and what you can expect during the recovery period.
When it comes to minimally invasive surgical options in East Chicago, our Laparoscopic Hysterectomy service at Women’s Health Group Chicago leads the pack. With smaller incisions compared to traditional methods, this procedure significantly reduces pain, scarring and shortens recovery time for the patient. Our team of experienced professionals works meticulously to ensure maximum comfort before, during, and after this procedure.
Women’s Health Group Chicago remains committed to offering various procedures tailored towards meeting individual patient needs across East Chicago. Our Abdominal Hysterectomy service presents as an effective solution when less-invasive surgeries may be inappropriate due to underlying factors such as large uteruses or cancers. Despite its invasiveness over other procedures like laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomies, we take every measure possible at WHGC to minimize any discomfort stemming from this surgery amid ensuring optimal outcomes.
Vaginal Hysterectomy is one of the most common minimally invasive surgeries we offer at Women’s Health Group Chicago for women in East Chicago fearing large scars from abdominal hysterectomies. Not only does this method leave no visible scar since access is via vaginal canal but also generally involves less post-operative pain and quicker return times back home compared with others- just another way we consider patient-friendly alternatives for you.
Women’s Health Group Chicago understands the importance of a comfortable recovery process after undergoing a hysterectomy. Our post-operative care and recovery services are designed to support our East Chicago patients throughout their healing journey. From managing pain medications, addressing complications if they arise, and providing physiotherapy guidelines, our team is always present to ensure your recuperative phase is as smooth as possible.
Aware that hormonal imbalance can bring about its challenges after a hysterectomy procedure, Women’s Health Group Chicago provides Hormone Replacement Therapy for women in East Chicago. HRT alleviates menopause symptoms often worsened by surgery such as hot flashes or mood swings besides compensating for reduced estrogen production in removed ovaries. Always prioritizing your safety – at WHGC we monitor both short-term effects and longer-term ones involving bones or cardiovascular health during this therapy.

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.
