Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, our team of professionals are compassionate health advocates who see great importance in pre-surgical counseling and evaluation. Our specialized staff ensures thorough consultations, designed to educate women about the potential procedures they might be facing – including hysterectomies. During this vital stage, we discuss what you can expect before, during and after surgery while addressing your personal concerns or questions.
Minimizing invasiveness is a priority at Womens Health Group Chicago when it comes to surgical procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomy. This advanced procedure uses small incisions in the abdomen through which a video camera and special surgical tools are inserted for a precise operation with minimal discomfort and speedy recovery time. With experts devoted to provide optimum care paired with state-of-the-art medical technology, rest assured that your wellbeing is our top concern.
Despite modern advancements in health care services, there may be times where traditional abdominal hysterectomy could be more suitable based on individual needs. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we value offering diverse solutions for unique circumstances that come our way from Park Ridge residents. All of these underpinned by delivering patient-centered care marked by compassion, understanding and proficiency.
Vaginal hysterectomy is also an offered service in our clinic as we aim to cover all possible procedures best suited for the specific need of each patient from Park Ridge area. Despite being less common due its applicability on certain cases only, vaginal hysterectomies offer many benefits such as shorter hospital stays and faster recoveries making them an attractive option when feasible.
Patient support doesn’t predetermine at any point during their experience with Womens Health Group Chicago. Our package includes comprehensive post-operative care and recovery support to ensure that the healing process is successful and comfortable. Extending beyond our skilled surgeons, our nursing team works tirelessly to guarantee you feel supported as soon as your procedure concludes.
Lastly, we recognize that hormonal imbalances can result in severe symptoms for some patients. Here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer hormone replacement therapy to alleviate discomforts caused by a decrease in female hormones – which is often the case post-hysterectomy. Our tailored treatment plans are designed considering everything from personal medical history to current health status so you’ll receive the perfect balance of necessary hormones.

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.
