A Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed by a Gynaecologist to remove the uterus. It is recommended for various conditions, including heavy periods unresponsive to other treatments, fibroids, uterus prolapse, endometriosis, and cancer. The procedure can be conducted using one of three methods: vaginal hysterectomy, open abdominal hysterectomy, or keyhole abdominal hysterectomy. Your Gynaecologist will help determine the most suitable method based on your specific needs.
Hysterectomy treatment may be necessary to address several health concerns. If you experience heavy periods that do not improve with alternative treatments, a hysterectomy can provide long-term relief. Additionally, it can effectively treat fibroids, uterus prolapse, endometriosis, and certain types of cancer. By undergoing a hysterectomy, you can improve your quality of life, alleviate symptoms, and prevent further complications associated with these conditions.
During a hysterectomy procedure, which typically lasts between one to two hours, you will be placed under general anesthesia. The Gynaecologist will remove the uterus and may recommend additional procedures depending on your specific condition. These procedures may include total hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, radical hysterectomy, or the removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes alongside the hysterectomy. Following the procedure, you can expect to stay in the hospital for a period of two to four days for proper monitoring and post-operative care.
Recovering from a hysterectomy procedure usually takes around two months. It is important to allow your body ample time to heal and regain strength. During this period, it is common to experience some discomfort, fatigue, and temporary changes in hormonal balance. Your healthcare team will provide you with guidance on pain management, activity levels, and any necessary post-operative care instructions. By following these guidelines and allowing yourself adequate rest and recovery, you can expect to gradually return to your normal activities and experience an improved quality of life.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - Hysterectomy Treatment
There are three main methods of hysterectomy: vaginal hysterectomy, open abdominal hysterectomy, and keyhole abdominal hysterectomy. The choice of method depends on the patient’s specific condition and the recommendation of the gynecologist.
Your gynecologist will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and perform necessary tests to determine if a hysterectomy is the appropriate treatment option for your condition. They will discuss the reasons for recommending a hysterectomy and address any concerns or questions you may have.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will remove the uterus and may also perform additional procedures, such as removing the ovaries and fallopian tubes, depending on your condition. The duration of the surgery is usually around one to two hours.
The hospital stay following a hysterectomy can range from two to four days. This duration allows for proper monitoring, pain management, and post-operative care to ensure your recovery progresses smoothly.
The recovery time after a hysterectomy is typically around two months. During this period, it is important to rest, follow the post-operative care instructions, and gradually increase your activity level as advised by your healthcare team.
Some common side effects of a hysterectomy include temporary discomfort, fatigue, hormonal changes, and mild to moderate pain. Complications are rare but can include infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding organs. Your healthcare team will closely monitor your recovery to minimize any potential risks.
If the ovaries are also removed during the hysterectomy, it can induce menopause. However, if the ovaries are left intact, menopause may not occur immediately. Your gynecologist will discuss the potential hormonal changes and their implications with you.
The cost of hysterectomy treatment can vary and is influenced by factors such as the chosen method, additional procedures performed, hospital charges, and other related expenses. It is best to consult with Electiva or your healthcare provider to obtain accurate and up-to-date cost information.
Depending on your specific condition, there may be alternative treatments available. Your gynecologist will discuss all possible options with you, weighing the benefits and risks, to determine the most suitable treatment approach tailored to your needs.
