Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that making the decision to undergo a hysterectomy is not an easy one. Often, it comes with confusion and anxiety. To alleviate these concerns, we offer pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services tailored specifically for women in Phoenix. Our experienced team will guide you through every stage of your upcoming procedure, providing valuable insights about what you can expect before, during, and after surgery. By doing so, we aim to empower you with detailed information regarding all available alternatives; hence assisting in informed decision-making.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is one of the options offered by Womens Health Group Chicago for women living in Phoenix who requires a hysterectomy but prefers a less invasive approach. This minimally invasive technique uses state-of-the-art technology and only small incisions on the abdomen as entry points; thus minimizing discomfort during recovery. Most patients report rapid convalescence matched with minimal scarring post-procedure compared to traditional methods.
While laparoscopy might be preferred because it’s less invasive – certain conditions may require an abdominal hysterectomy which involves larger incision(s). Here at Women’s Health Group Chicago , our highly experienced surgeons ensure utmost patient care even when performing this type of hysterectomy often required due to large fibroids or extensive endometriosis among other cases.
Another surgical option offered at Womens Health Group Chicago is vaginal hysterectomy–a method where uterus removal takes place via vagina thereby leaving no visible scars externally . For suitable candidates under professional guidance,this choice provides similar benefits like its laparoscopic counterpart focusing principally on reduced healing time plus improved cosmetic outcome.
After performing a hysterectomy, Womens Health Group Chicago strongly advocates for comprehensive post-operative care and support. This commitment is extended to all of our Phoenix patients, ensuring they are adequately supported during the recovery process which can sometimes be challenging. Our dedicated medical team guides you through your recuperation phase meticulously monitoring progress while addressing any raised concerns thus fostering fast and comfortable recovery.
As part of our holistic approach towards women’s wellness in Phoenix, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is provided as a viable route to managing discomfort from symptoms associated with menopause following hysterectomy operations. HRT at Womens Health Group Chicago isn’t one-size-fits-all but rather personalized according to each woman’s specific needs aiming at improving her overall quality of life after surgery.

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.
