Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we emphasize the importance of informed decisions for our patients. Our experienced healthcare professionals provide thorough pre-surgical counseling and evaluation as part of your hysterectomy journey. This careful preparation aims to ensure you understand every aspect involving the procedure – from risks, benefits to recovery expectations; thus preparing both emotionally and physically for what’s ahead.
If you are seeking a less invasive option, we offer laparoscopic hysterectomies. In this modern surgical approach, doctors make small incisions near the navel to remove the uterus while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This method decreases pain post-procedure and accelerates recovery time significantly compared to traditional surgeries which is why it has become an increasingly popular choice among women in West Ridge looking for effective solutions with minimal downtime.
Womens Health Group Chicago provides exceptional abdominal hysterectomies services too – another approach depending on various factors like size of uterus or presence of disease etc. An incision is made along bikini line or middle line of abdomen through which uterus is safely removed by our skilled surgeons. Though recovery may take a bit longer here but results are equally successful guaranteeing patient satisfaction consistently.
For certain conditions, surgical removal via vagina could be apt – thus Vaginal Hysterectomies form an important pillar amongst our varied services at Womens Health Group Chicago. Following this path allows women across West Ridge recover quicker with reduced pain levels due its less non-invasive nature offering yet another viable treatment keeping specific individual requirements in mind.
Following any form of hysterectomy, taking proper post-operative care is crucial for smooth recovery process which our team prioritizes above all. We not only focus on immediate after surgery support but also emphasize long term recovery planning including lifestyle adjustments aimed at enhancing the overall quality of life post-surgery. Women across West Ridge have come to trust our comprehensive follow-up care that doesn’t end as soon as you leave our clinic.
In some cases, a hysterectomy can lead to early onset of menopause due to removal or potential damage to ovaries. If this happens, we offer Hormone Replacement Therapy solutions tailored for each woman’s unique needs and symptoms helping them regain hormonal balance for optimial functioning physically and mentally in their day-to-day lives again.

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.
