Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we understand that the decision to undergo a hysterectomy is significant. Our experienced healthcare professionals provide pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for women from Hammond and beyond, in compassionate environments designed specifically with their needs in mind. We focus on educating our patients about what they can expect before, during, and after surgery. In addition, we assess your general health status to determine if you are fit for surgical procedures while evaluating any potential risks.
For women who need a less invasive procedure, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers Laparoscopic Hysterectomies. This involves performing the surgery through small incisions rather than one large cut which usually leads to quicker recovery times and less post-operative discomfort. It also reduces hospital stay duration considerably allowing you to return home sooner as compared to traditional methods of hysterectomy.
Sometimes, an Abdominal Hysterectomy may be the most suitable option for certain conditions or situations such as larger uteri or higher risk of cancer spread. This procedure entails removing the uterus through an incision made either horizontally or vertically across the abdomen region making it easier for surgeons at Women’s Health Group Chicago to examine other organs during operation if required.
Women’s Health Group Chicago also provides Vaginal Hysterectomies where no abdominal cuts are needed enabling shorter healing period hence more comfortability post-surgery due its lesser invasiveness nature than abdominal hysterectomies besides few visible scars if any left on body surface unlike when performed abdominally whereby bigger outer wounds have got chances leaving noticeable scarring once healed completely.
Our commitment towards providing top-rated feminine care isn’t limited to surgery only. We pride in giving comprehensive post-operative care aimed at ensuring your recovery period is as smooth, manageable and quick as possible after having a hysterectomy performed whether laparoscopically, abdominally or vaginally with supportive staff always ready assist you whenever necessary during this crucial healing phase.
After a hysterectomy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) might be recommended by our care team if the ovaries were also removed during the procedure which stops estrogen production hence triggering menopause symptoms suddenly. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer tailored HRT programs that can help to improve overall quality of life by combating these undesired effects successfully brought about premature menopause including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings among others related changes happening due possibly lack hormonal balance within body system immediately post-hysterectomy surgery.

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.
