Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, we believe that an essential part of any surgical procedure is making sure our patients are thoroughly informed beforehand. Our pre-surgical counseling offers a comprehensive evaluation to assess your overall health condition and the necessity for surgery. This process significantly aids in preparing you both physically and mentally for a hysterectomy. We address vital aspects during this evaluation: the type of hysterectomy required (be it laparoscopic, abdominal, or vaginal), potential risks associated with each method, post-operative care measures needed for optimal recovery.
Today’s technological advancements provide efficiency and precision when performing surgeries like a hysterectomy – including the minimally invasive option of a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy. At Womens Health Group Chicago serving Willowbrook residents, we understand how important less-invasive options are to patient comfort levels and recovery time. In Laparoscopic Hysterectomy procedures, small incisions allow us to remove uterine tissues with minimal impact on surrounding body parts thereby reducing scarring and quickening your return home.
Our team also specializes in abdominal hysterectomies where our experienced surgeons make a small incision either horizontally across the lower abdomen or vertically depending on individual anatomy considerations. Though more invasive than other methods, certain circumstances necessitate abdominal approach due its flexibility of application especially when large uterus lesions exist that require careful dissection as they pose higher risks if untreated.
For suitable candidates who prefer non-abdominal approaches without visible scars following surgery – we offer Vaginal Hysterectomies at Womens Health Group Chicago servicing Willowbrook inhabitants. Utilising specialised instruments inserted through vagina allows removal of uterus while maintaining privacy even whilst undergoing such significant surgery. A testament to our commitment towards your psychological wellbeing while tackling physical health issues.
Effective recovery from a hysterectomy requires dedicated post-operative care, which is something we prioritize highly at Womens Health Group Chicago catering Willowbrook folks. Our experienced team offers compassionate support throughout the healing process– monitoring you closely in the immediate aftermath of surgery and scheduling appropriate follow-up visits for continued assessment of your recovery progress. With an intensive focus on pain management, wound care, mobility progress as well rehabilitation coaching we ensure quickest possible safe return back to normal life.
Following a hysterectomy, hormonal balance can be disrupted leading to various problems such as hot flashes or osteoporosis among others. That’s where our hormone replacement therapy steps in to restore this balance promoting overall healthy living following uterus removal procedures. At Women’s Health Group Chicago available also for Willowbrook community members- we prescribe personalized HRT plans based on individual patient’s needs focusing upon careful dosages ensuring you benefit maximally from positive effects while minimizing any potential side-effects that might occur.

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.
