Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and is often performed to address various gynecological conditions. At AMVI Clinic, we offer personalized, compassionate care to women considering this procedure, focusing on advanced techniques, faster recovery, and comprehensive support.

What is a Hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy is a major surgery aimed at treating conditions affecting the uterus. Depending on the medical need, the procedure may involve:

• Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
• Partial/Subtotal Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact.
• Radical Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues, often for cancer treatment.
• With Salpingo-Oophorectomy: Removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries alongside the uterus.

Why is a Hysterectomy Recommended?

This procedure may be necessary for conditions such as:

• Uterine Fibroids: Causing significant pain, pressure, or bleeding.
• Endometriosis: Severe cases unresponsive to other treatments.
• Cancer: Uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent and debilitating.
• Uterine Prolapse: When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
• Adenomyosis: Painful thickening of the uterine walls.
• Unmanageable Bleeding: Heavy, irregular, or prolonged periods.
