Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, your well-being is our main focus. Our dedicated team understands that making a decision about having a hysterectomy can be emotional and overwhelming. That’s why we offer comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services specifically tailored to meet your needs. Focused on providing education, support, and thorough evaluations of your health status before surgery, our experts work hand in hand with you to develop an appropriate plan of action.
Leveraging advanced technology, we have heightened proficiency with minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomies. This involves the removal of the uterus through several small incisions instead of one large one; it promotes quicker healing times, less post-operative pain and fewer complications after surgery than traditional methods. Our expert surgeons at Womens Health Group Chicago are highly skilled in conducting these procedures safely ensuring optimum results for patients from Ellsworth.
In certain cases where other types of hysterectomies might not be suitable or safe for the patient’s case profile, our experienced team may recommend an abdominal hysterectomy operation. In this procedure, we carefully remove your uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen while prioritizing safety measures throughout all surgical stages- including preparation phase right up to post-procedure care.
Womens Health Group Chicago also specializes in vaginal hysterectomies – another form of minimally invasive procedure which leads to lesser scarring as compared with abdominal counterpart operations. Vaginal Hysterectomy requires no external incisions as it involves removing the uterus through vagina offering faster recuperation times coupled with less hospital stay requirements thereby contributing towards overall improved quality-of-life following treatment.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand post-operative care is just as evident to the successful outcome of a hysterectomy. Therefore, after each surgery, our highly skilled and compassionate team provides exhaustive attention devoted toward promoting your recuperation. Whether it’s personalized pain management plans or targeted physical therapy, you can rest assured that your recovery will be handled with unmatched precision and care.
Hysterectomies often initiate premature menopause due to a decrease in estrogen levels. At this critical juncture of treatment, our hormone replacement therapy serves as an indispensable component for patients post-hysterectomy procedure. By replenishing depleted hormones in safe measure through HRT; side effects like hot flashes & mood swings are effectively managed thereby ensuring smoother transition into life without uterus while maintaining overall hormonal balance within body system –an initiative resonating strongly with our holistic healthcare commitment towards womens’ welfare.

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.
