At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we prioritize patient education as part of our comprehensive suite of services. Our pre-surgical counseling and evaluation service for hysterectomy is meticulously designed to arm you with all the necessary information before opting for this surgery. We have experts dedicated to discussing any fears, queries or concerns related to the process. This service allows us to assess your suitability for hysterectomy whilst taking into account your overall health status, wellbeing, medical history, lifestyle factors, personal preferences and future plans.
Our clinic is known far beyond Montrose for its proficiency in laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures – a less invasive surgical procedure that enables faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery methods. In this process, small incisions are made in the abdomen through which instruments are inserted to conduct the operation. If you require a hysterectomy but wish minimal disruption to your life during recovery, then our skilled practitioners can guide you through this modern approach.
For some women who need a more comprehensive examination or if larger fibroids need removing alongside the uterus – an abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended by our specialists at Womens Health Group Chicago. The upside here is a more thorough exploration of your pelvic region thus allowing us greater attention and care toward potential underlying issues not visible via alternative treatments; though keep in mind that it does entail longer hospital stay as well as recovery period than laparoscopic method.
Womens Health Group Chicago offers vaginal hysterectomies as another option for those requiring uterus removal. This type of procedure avoids visible scarring since it’s performed entirely through the vagina without any external incisions on abdomen whatsoever! It also typically entails shorter hospital stay and quicker recuperation periods compared to abdominal methodology yet achieve the same results.
Naturally, our duty of care extends beyond the surgical procedure. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we believe in ensuring our patients receive optimal postoperative support for successful recovery. We monitor your healing process closely and offer comprehensive advice on activities, diet and medication aiding faster return to normalcy. Our specialized nursing staff is at hand around-the-clock, ready to assist you through every step of this journey taking pride in delivering exemplary patient experience.
After a hysterectomy procedure, some women may encounter disruptions with their hormone levels leading to unexpected symptoms or conditions later in life such as osteoporosis or heart disease risk increase. Herein comes into play Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) which can help alleviate these issues by restoring crucial balance of female hormones including estrogen within your body. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we fully understand the potential challenges faced in aftermath hence offering HRT guidance aimed to optimize wellness & longevity long after surgery has concluded.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

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.
