What is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, performed when other treatments haven't relieved symptoms from conditions like fibroids, adenomyosis or abnormal bleeding.
Hysterectomy permanently resolves symptoms related to the uterus, and is considered when fertility preservation is not a priority.

3. Surgery
The procedure is performed using the least invasive approach appropriate for your case.
4. Recovery & Follow-up
Monitoring and a follow-up visit support your recovery.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is complete, lasting relief from the underlying condition. Hysterectomy is a well-established procedure with a high success rate for symptom relief.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your care team will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Recovery typically takes two to six weeks depending on the surgical approach used.
Your care plan includes pain management, activity guidance, and a follow-up visit to confirm healing.
Careful monitoring, follow-up testing and guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
