What is Hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus, the organ where a baby grows during pregnancy. During the surgery, the entire uterus or a portion of it may be removed, depending on the specific medical condition and the reason for the procedure. Hysterectomy is not always the first treatment option but may be necessary in some cases.

There are different types of Hysterectomy procedures available; these include

• Total Hysterectomy – removes the entire uterus and cervix
• Subtotal Hysterectomy – removes the upper part of the uterus
• Radical Hysterectomy – removes the uterus, cervix, and surrounding reproductive tissues

During your consultation, Dr. sawarkar & team will discuss your medical history and perform a thorough physical examination to determine the best type of Hysterectomy for your needs.

Reasons for Hysterectomy

There are various medical conditions and reasons that may necessitate a hysterectomy. Some of the common reasons for undergoing a hysterectomy include:

• Uterine Fibroids:Non-cancerous growths in the uterus called fibroids can lead to severe pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pressure on surrounding organs, often requiring a hysterectomy for relief.
• Endometriosis: A chronic condition occurs when the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus begins to grow outside of it.. When other treatments fail, a hysterectomy might be considered. Read more about endometriosis.
• Uterine Prolapse:This occurs when the muscles and ligaments that support the uterus weaken, causing the uterus to descend into the vaginal canal. Hysterectomy may be performed in severe cases.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain:When chronic pelvic pain is severe and other treatments are ineffective, removing the uterus might be considered as a last resort to alleviate the pain.

Risks and Benefits of Hysterectomy

Like other medical procedures, there are potential risks and complications associated with Hysterectomy. Some of these include:

• Reaction to anaesthesia
• Blood loss or heavy bleeding
• Infection
• Injury to nearby organs
• Vaginal vault prolapse
