Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize patient education and empowerment. Our pre-surgical counseling and evaluation process is your first step towards making an informed decision about your health. We provide a thorough assessment of the condition needing resolution via hysterectomy surgery to ensure you understand the procedure, its risks, benefits and alternatives completely. Our experienced OBGYNs carry out comprehensive evaluations that consider all aspects of your physical health along with psychological considerations before deciding on hysterectomy as the most suitable surgical option for you.
Our medical staff specializes in minimally invasive procedures such as Laparoscopic Hysterectomies. With this method, small incisions are made around the abdomen to carefully remove the uterus or portions of it while ensuring minimal impact on surrounding tissue. This state-of-the-art technique results in less post-operative pain, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods.
We also offer Abdominal Hysterectomy services when necessary, especially if a larger area needs to be treated or examined during surgery. The expert surgeons at Womens Health Group Chicago perform these operations with utmost precision aiding in quicker healing by minimizing wound complications post-surgery. We’ll guide you through this major surgery from start to finish so you know what to expect throughout recovering phases.
If applicable given certain conditions like uterine prolapse or endometrial hyperplasia – among others – a Vaginal Hysterectomy may be recommended by our specialists. As one of many services offered for women residing in Evanston & nearby areas; this entails removal of the uterus through vaginal canal hence no visible scars externally which presents another key advantage in addition to reduced discomfort.
Care won’t end when surgery does; our commitment extends well into your post-operative phase. We meticulously curate a personalized plan for each patient detailing care instructions, potential signs of complications to watch out for, healing process updates and requirements for follow-up appointments; all with the objective that you have an optimal recovery after undergoing hysterectomy.
After a hysterectomy procedure hormonal imbalances can occur, impacting overall wellness. This is where Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) comes into play. Our team will guide you down this tailored treatment path which is scientifically-designed to replenish these lost hormones safely restoring balance within your body while also negating debilitating symptoms of menopause induced via surgery.

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.
