Hysterectomy Surgery
What is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus (womb). In some cases, other reproductive organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix may also be removed, depending on the medical condition.
Once a hysterectomy is performed, a woman can no longer become pregnant and menstruation stops permanently.
✅ When is a Hysterectomy Needed?
Your doctor may recommend a hysterectomy for:
Uterine fibroids causing pain or bleeding
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding not controlled by medication
Uterine or cervical cancer
Endometriosis (uterine tissue growing outside the uterus)
Prolapsed uterus (uterus slipping into the vaginal canal)
Chronic pelvic pain
Adenomyosis (thickening of the uterine walls)
🔍 Types of Hysterectomy
Total Hysterectomy – Removes the uterus and cervix
Subtotal (Partial) Hysterectomy – Removes the uterus, keeps the cervix
Radical Hysterectomy – Removes uterus, cervix, surrounding tissues, and upper vagina (used in cancer cases)
Hysterectomy with Salpingo-Oophorectomy – Includes removal of fallopian tubes and/or ovaries
🛠 Surgical Methods
Abdominal Hysterectomy – Traditional open surgery with an incision in the abdomen
Vaginal Hysterectomy – Removal through the vagina, no external incision
Laparoscopic/Robotic Hysterectomy – Minimally invasive, faster recovery
⏳ Recovery Time
Hospital stay: 1–2 days (longer for abdominal surgery)
Recovery time: 2–6 weeks depending on surgery type
Most women return to normal activities in about 4–6 weeks
