Hysterectomy
Surgical removal of the uterus, used to treat various gynaecological conditions.
A hysterectomy is a procedure to remove the uterus and may be recommended to treat conditions such as heavy bleeding, fibroids, adenomyosis, or cancer. It can be performed through different surgical approaches, including laparoscopic, vaginal, or abdominal methods.
Your doctor will discuss the best option based on your condition, symptoms, and preferences.
Related Conditions
Myomas (fibroids) are incredibly common with some studies estimating that 70-80% of women will have a fibroid at some stage of their lives. A fibroid is a benign (non-cancerous) growth of muscle that is found in or around the uterus. It may be any size and shape. We do not know why women get fibroids, though it is likely that a combination of factors contribute, such as genetics, hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone and the number of children you have had.
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), or menorrhagia, is when your periods are heavier or last longer than normal. It can affect your quality of life and may lead to symptoms like fatigue or iron deficiency.
