At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize patient education and participation in all stages of treatment. Our pre-surgical counseling and evaluation services, for example, are critical parts of the hysterectomy process. This service initiates a dialogue between you and our medical experts where concerns can be voiced, questions answered, and decisions made together. We understand that this surgery might engender various emotional responses – fear, anxiety or relief. Hence earmarking ample time to diagnose any potential health issues prior to the surgery is imperative for us.
We offer laparoscopic hysterectomy as a minimally invasive surgical option with multiple advantages over traditional methods. By taking advantage of small incisions instead of large abdominal cuts, it helps reduce post-operative pain while leading to quicker recovery times. Moreover, its ability to provide a highly detailed view increases precision during the operation ensuring fewer complications. Our expert team at Womens Health Group Chicago is well versed in performing this advanced technique safely with state-of-the-art surgical tools.
Specializing also in traditional procedures like abdominal hysterectomy affords Womens Health Group Chicago the chance to cater effectively across varying patient requirements based on specific conditions or personal preferences. As an open surgery method involving direct access through the abdomen, Abdominal Hysterectomies allow hands-on examination by our adept surgeons which sometimes may not be possible using minimal invasive techniques.
Vaginal hysterectomies is another pillar among our array of services prioritizing women’s sexual health post-operation since they often leave no visible scars due to their internal approach without external incisions They invoke limited disruption within daily routines accelerating return back schedules post-surgery compared to other operative optionsThe dedicated staff at Women’s Health Group Chicago diligently works towards ensuring patient comfort while maintaining exceptional surgical outcomes.
As a compassionate women’s health clinic, Womens Health Group Chcago places the same weightage to post-procedure care and recovery as it does on operations. Our commitment includes, but isn’t limited to managing pain effectively, spotting & averting possible complications early on and providing psychological support during this potential emotive transition period for patients. We not just facilitate physical healing but also pay equal attention towards emotional recuperation.
Recognizing the myriad issues such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness or sleep disturbances that may ensue after hysterectomy due hormonal imbalance , we provide hormone replacement therapy for interested patients. We are passionately committed to helping women navigate through these biological changes whilst equipping them with right resources stimulating a breeze through this potentially challenging phase in their lives.

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.
