Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal)

Hysterectomy is a common surgery to remove the womb (uterus). It is usually done to help women suffering from heavy periods, severe pelvic pain, non-cancerous growths like fibroids, or other womb-related conditions when other treatments haven't helped. After the procedure, you will no longer have periods or be able to become pregnant, but it provides long-term relief from pain and discomfort so you can get back to daily life comfortably.

Clinical Indications for a Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy may be recommended when severe uterine symptoms significantly compromise your health, daily routine, or quality of life, and less invasive management options fail to provide long-term relief.

1. Abnormal Bleeding Patterns

  • Menorrhagia, extremely heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that impacts blood count levels
  • Metrorrhagia, unpredictable, irregular bleeding or spotting occurring between standard periods
  • Chronic AUB, persistent abnormal uterine bleeding that fails to resolve with targeted hormonal medications

2. Pelvic Pain & Discomfort

  • Severe dysmenorrhea, intense, sharp, and debilitating uterine cramping localized across the lower abdomen
  • Chronic pelvic ache, a continuous, dull, and exhausting deep abdominal discomfort lasting months
  • Deep dyspareunia, significant internal pain experienced during or immediately after sexual intercourse

3. Structural & Pressure Symptoms

  • Pelvic mass symptoms, large non-cancerous uterine growths causing progressive abdominal distension and bloating
  • Pelvic fullness, a continuous sensation of heaviness or traction deep within the lower pelvis
  • Urinary frequency, frequent urination caused directly by an enlarged uterus compressing the bladder wall
  • Prolapse discomfort, feelings of structural protrusion or sagging from the uterus slipping into the vaginal canal
