What is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical operation to remove the uterus partially or completely. It is performed for several medical reasons including fibroids, heavy bleeding, uterine prolapse, or cancer.
Indication of Hysterectomy
Uterine Fibroids
Noncancerous growths causing pain or heavy bleeding.
Endometriosis
Tissue similar to uterine lining grows outside the uterus causing pain.
Uterine Prolapse
Uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened muscles.
Cancer
Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries may require hysterectomy.
Chronic Pelvic Pain or Bleeding
When other treatments fail, hysterectomy may be recommended.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves pelvic examination, ultrasound, MRI, blood tests, and biopsy if cancer is suspected.
Diagnostic Methods
- Pelvic Exam
- Ultrasound Imaging
- MRI Scan
- Blood Tests
- Endometrial Biopsy
- Hysteroscopy
