Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the invasive nature of surgical procedures and the anxiety they bring. Our pre-surgical counseling provides an opportunity for women to discuss their fears, concerns, and queries with our experienced surgeons. During evaluation, parameters like overall health status, type of hysterectomy suitable etc are determined. This comprehensive approach helps in formulating a custom-tailored plan ensuring maximum safety, comfort and optimal results.
We specialize in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy – a less invasive surgery method which offers quicker recovery times compared to traditional techniques. In this procedure, small incisions are carefully made around the abdomen through which a laparoscope is inserted allowing doctors to operate without having to make large cuts that may be more disruptive to patient healing . This technology means faster return to daily life activities with minimum discomfort.
Though now less common than minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy or vaginal hysterectomies, sometimes an abdominal hysterectomy might be necessary depending on individual medical situations. At Women’s Health Group Chicago Clinic located at Hometown ,we will expertly guide you through your options based solely on what is best for your specific condition following thorough diagnosis by our dedicated experts.
Vaginal Hysterectomy is another area where Womens Health Group Chicago excels in service delivery. If circumstances dictate it’s efficacy over other methods then purely vaginal access can have advantage of no visible scarring along with shorter hospital stays & healing process post-operation being relatively fast-paced too! We provide end-to-end care thus making sure one feels completely at home during their journey towards healthfulness again!
Aftercare plays an integral role in ensuring a successful recovery following any surgical procedure. With us, you’re not alone once the operation is over. OOur team at Womens Health Group Chicago located in Hometown provides comprehensive post-operative care, assisting with optimal pain management and wound care to speed up the healing process and reduce risk of complications.

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.
