Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the emotional roller coaster that a woman may experience when diagnosed with a condition that requires surgery such as a hysterectomy. Our compassionate experts provide comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation to ensure you have ample support throughout this challenging time. We walk with you, explaining every detail of the procedure from preparation, what to expect during surgery to recovery process. The assessment conducted during our pre-surgical consultations aids immensely in tailoring an individual approach that suits your unique health needs.
If minimal invasiveness, less scarring and rapid recovery are among your priorities while seeking gynecological surgical treatment options; look no further than Womens Health Group Chicago! With top-rated gynecologists boasting extensive industry expertise, we offer advanced procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomies. This innovative method drastically reduces healing times and patients can often return home on the day of their operation itself – promoting faster redeployment into normal life routines.
Occasionally, circumstances dictate more traditional surgical approaches be used for optimal patient outcomes. In such cases our premier clinic is well-equipped to perform abdominal hysterectomies where sophistication meets empathy in treating conditions ranging from fibroids to endometriosis or cancerous issues. Also known as open surgery, this technique provides an excellent visual field for surgeons allowing precise removal of uterine tissue causing discomfort.
For women requiring uterus removal but hoping for invisible scarring post-procedure – vaginal hysterectomies offered by Womens Health Group Chicago might be the ideal solution! Performed entirely through the vagina without external incisions, this type carries fewer complications compared with other types of hysterectomies – ensuring better aesthetic results coupled with high-efficiency treatment.
After any surgical procedure, focused care is crucial in maintaining patient health and enabling proper recovery. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our clinic guarantees exceptional postoperative attention tailored to your unique needs after undergoing hysterectomy surgery – regardless of type chosen or performed. Our team works diligently to monitor you closely during this critical period, providing holistic support on matters ranging from managing side effects to adapting lifestyle changes necessary for a seamless healing journey.
For women encountering undesirable menopausal symptoms following a Hysterectomy, we provide state-of-the-art Hormone Replacement Therapy as part of comprehensive post-hysterectomy solutions. Dealing with hormonal variances can be complex; thus our approach involves detailed evaluation before recommending the most suitable hormone therapy aimed at supplementing reduced hormonal levels while promoting overall physiological balance – making your transition as smooth as possible even after such major 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.
