Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that making the decision to undergo a hysterectomy can be daunting. That is why our team strives to provide comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for patients in Lake View and its surrounding area. Our seasoned specialists leverage their expertise in women’s health to offer personalized advice, addressing all your concerns about the procedure. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge so that you can make confident decisions concerning your health path.
Utilizing advanced surgical techniques, Womens Health Group Chicago provides high-quality laparoscopic hysterectomies for women in Lake View. We prefer this approach as it less invasive than traditional surgery, which means reduced recovery time and minimal scarring for our patients. By using incredibly small incisions to remove the uterus or parts of it, our experienced surgeons prioritize patient safety without compromising on surgical outcomes.
For some cases where more complex medical considerations are involved, an abdominal hysterectomy might be recommended by the professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago. Despite being a more traditional method requiring a larger incision through the abdomen wall, it allows broader access and visibility for possible ovarian pathology or serious conditions such as cancer detection within pelvic organs.
We also offer vaginal hysterectomies at Womens Health Group Chicago – an alternative option performed through an incision made within the vagina itself rather than the abdomen. This technique offers benefits such as shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery times along with reducing chances of infection compared to its counterparts.Through specialized assessment, we help determine if this procedure could be suitable based on your individual needs & circumstances.
Surgery doesn’t mark an end but just a stage in your journey with us at Womens Health Group Chicago. We believe in comprehensive care which means guiding you through post-operative recovery is a crucial aspect of our services for the Lake View community. Going beyond medical management, we provide emotional support and personalized rehabilitation plans to ensure optimal healing & wellbeing during the sensitive period following surgery.
Hysterectomy can lead to early menopause due to the sudden decrease of female hormones: estrogen and progesterone. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer hormone replacement therapy designed as an effective solution to manage symptoms like hot flashes or bone loss associated with this life transition. By balancing these integral hormones within your body, HRT often improves quality of life post-hysterectomy by mitigating severe symptomatic discomforts. We customize treatment plans based on thorough assessments considering benefits versus potential risks affiliated with individual health profiles.

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.
