Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we firmly believe that a patient’s understanding of their procedure plays an essential role in the success of their surgery. Our team, serving Justice and the surrounding areas, offers comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services to assure our patients are fully prepared for their hysterectomy. We provide detailed information on what to expect during and after the surgery. We also carry out thorough health assessments to rule out any potential risks that could affect your surgery or recovery.
Minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomies can be an excellent choice for women looking for quicker recovery times with less pain post-op. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our skilled surgeons utilize advanced techniques under stringent conditions to perform laparoscopic hysterectomies with unmatched precision and care. This technique requires small incisions made in your abdomen through which surgical instruments are guided to remove uterine tissue successfully.
An abdominal hysterectomy is sometimes necessary when other methods may not be suitable due to certain medical factors or personal preference. Our experts at Womens Health Group Chicago have substantial experience performing this type of operation safely while ensuring maximum comfort levels throughout recovery stages. Although this procedure may involve more significant incision than laparoscopic variants, it allows direct access to reproductive organs providing excellent operative visibility.
When appropriate, opting for a vaginal hysterectomy can result in minimal scarring as there’s no need for external cuts; everything is done via the vagina itself! We’re proud here at Womens Health Group Chicago that we’ve helped numerous Women from Justice regain control over their lives by using this approach when clinically suitable.
A successful medical procedure doesn’t end at the operating table. Post-operative care is crucial for seamless recovery, and Womens Health Group Chicago has it down to a science. Our post-op program includes steps to minimize pain, prevent complication, and promote speedier recovery while ensuring comfort during your time of healing.
After undergoing a hysterectomy, some women may require hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as part of their treatment plan to manage symptoms that arise from sudden changes in hormone levels. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide personalized HRT plans designed according to each patient’s specific needs. Whether you are dealing with hot flashes or sleep disturbances post-hysterectomy surgery – our team stands ready to equip you with comprehensive care tailored just for you.

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.
