Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which a woman’s uterus is removed. This surgery may be recommended for various medical reasons, including the treatment of chronic conditions that affect the uterus. At Shreeji Hospital and Maternity Home, we provide expert care and support to women undergoing a hysterectomy, ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being throughout the process.
Why is a Hysterectomy Performed?
A hysterectomy is often recommended for conditions that cannot be effectively managed with other treatments. Common reasons include:
- Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that cause heavy bleeding, pain, and other complications.
- Endometriosis: A condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside it, leading to pain, infertility, and other issues.
- Cancer: Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancers may require a hysterectomy as part of the treatment plan.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pelvic pain caused by conditions like adenomyosis or fibroids that do not respond to other treatments.
- Abnormal Bleeding: Uncontrolled or heavy menstrual bleeding that doesn’t respond to medication or other treatments.
- Prolapsed Uterus: When the uterus drops into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic muscles, often caused by childbirth or aging.
Types of Hysterectomy
Depending on the underlying condition and the patient’s health, different types of hysterectomies may be performed:
- Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the entire uterus, including the cervix.
- Subtotal (or Partial) Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus but leaving the cervix intact.
- Radical Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, parts of the vagina, and surrounding tissues, typically performed when cancer is present.
