What is Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, performed to treat a variety of gynecological conditions. Depending on the patient's needs, the procedure may involve removing only the uterus (partial hysterectomy) or the uterus along with the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes (total or radical hysterectomy).

Abdominal Hysterectomy

Several medical conditions may necessitate a hysterectomy.

  • Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus causing pain or heavy bleeding.
  • Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and bleeding.
  • Adenomyosis: When the lining of the uterus grows into its muscular wall, causing heavy periods and pain.
  • Uterine Prolapse: The uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened support muscles.
  • Cancer: Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries may require a hysterectomy.

Symptoms prompting consideration of a hysterectomy include:

    • Severe pelvic pain unresponsive to other treatments.
    • Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding.
    • Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.
    • Symptoms related to uterine fibroids, such as pain and heavy bleeding.

      Before recommending a hysterectomy, physicians typically perform:

      • Pelvic Examination: To assess the size and position of the uterus.
      • Imaging Tests: Such as ultrasound or MRI to visualize uterine abnormalities.
      • Biopsy: To check for cancerous cells.
      • Blood Tests: To evaluate overall health and rule out other conditions.
