Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we emphasize the importance of comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for each patient considering a hysterectomy. Our dedicated team assists patients with understanding everything involved in this significant procedure including risks, outcomes, and potential alternatives. We believe that educating women about their options empowers them to make informed decisions regarding their health.
The Womens Health Group Chicago is renowned within North Center for offering advanced procedures such as Laparoscopic Hysterectomy. This minimally invasive surgery involves tiny incisions in the abdomen to remove the uterus or parts of it. As one of our prevalent services, it leads to fewer complications post-surgery, reduced pain during recovery and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgical methods.
When less-invasive procedures aren’t an option due to certain medical conditions or extensive scar tissues from previous surgeries; Abdominal Hysterectomy remains a safe alternative. It’s performed by making an incision in your lower abdomen to remove your uterus. Here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, our expert surgeons have vast experience performing abdominal hysterectomies while prioritizing maximum comfort and safety for our patients.
We are also proud providers of Vaginal Hysterectomies for suitable candidates in North Center area. In this procedure, the uterus is removed through the vagina rather than via an abdominal incision- there is no visual scarring after operation which makes it greatly preferred by many women besides other advantages like less post-operative discomfort and quicker return towards normal activities.
Supporting you throughout your recovery journey following a hysterectomy is crucial at Womens Health Group Chicago. Every patient receives individualized post-operative care plans designed to promote healing, manage pain and prevent complications. Our dedicated team is always on hand to answer your questions and ensure a smooth transition towards full recovery.
Another integral part of our practice involves Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). This therapy can be significantly beneficial for those who have undergone hysterectomy as it helps in managing symptoms related to hormonal imbalances like hot flashes or vaginal dryness. With tailored hormone replacement strategies, we at Women’s Health Group Chicago seek not just the physical wellbeing, but also endeavor for mental comfort and overall quality of life for each patient.

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.
