Skip to content At the Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that considering a hysterectomy can be an emotionally challenging decision. That’s why we offer comprehensive pre-surgical counseling and evaluation for all our patients in Northlake. Our confidential consultation involves not just medical reports but also discussion about symptoms, individual goals of treatment, and anxiety levels regarding surgery. We ensure you have all necessary information to make an informed choice at your own pace.
Our team of expert surgeons are proficient in performing minimally invasive surgeries like laparoscopic hysterectomies. This modern procedure involves small incisions in the abdomen through which surgical tools are inserted to remove the uterus. It results in less scarring, less post-operative pain, quicker recovery times, shorter hospital stays compared to traditional surgeries which means you get back to your everyday life much faster.
Sometimes though based on specific health conditions or personal preferences a more conventional approach is suitable hence we also specialize in abdominal hysterectomies where uterus is removed through larger incision made across lower belly area. The experience of our staff ensures safety and effectiveness even as this approach allows removal of larger uteri or if associated conditions like endometriosis exist.
There’ll be instances where patient needs merit recommendation for vaginal hysterectomies rather than other procedures; this translates into no visible scars & generally lesser complications post operation. In such cases provision is made for extraction of uterus via vagina without external cuts thereby expediting post-operative return time while mitigating risks often seen with major surgery.
Impeccable operative skills require equally competent after-care practices; thus Womens Health Group Chicago commits fully towards healthy recovery patterns post hysterectomy. Encompassing strengths: from watchful overnight monitoring post surgery through to regular follow ups and ensuring any concerning symptoms are promptly addressed, we strive for our patients to experience a smooth & speedy recovery.
Hysterectomies may lead to onset of menopause symptoms or intensify them if already existing; but worry not as Womens Health Group offers prime service provision in Hormone Replacement Therapies too. Our experts robustly assess specific individual needs towards substitution of hormones thereby handling the more unpleasant side effects tied-in with hormonal imbalances that could result from uterus removal while ensuring focus on overall well-being throughout this transition phase.

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.
