What is Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus. It may be advised for heavy bleeding, fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, prolapse or certain other conditions.
When other treatments have not helped, laparoscopic hysterectomy removes the uterus through small cuts. Most women have less pain and recover faster than with open surgery.
Symptoms of Hysterectomy
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Severe pelvic pain or painful periods
- Pelvic pressure or heaviness
- Uterus slipping down (prolapse)
- Anaemia from heavy bleeding
- Frequent urination from pressure on the bladder
