A hysterectomy is a major surgery for women, involving the removal of the uterus and sometimes nearby organs like the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

Women may undergo a hysterectomy for various medical reasons, often when other treatments have proven ineffective or when a serious condition necessitates the removal of the uterus. Common indications include severe and persistent uterine fibroids that cause pain, heavy bleeding, or other complications. Endometriosis is a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus.  This can lead to debilitating pain and is another potential reason for a hysterectomy. In cases of gynaecological cancers, such as uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer, a hysterectomy might be part of the treatment plan. Additionally, certain pelvic inflammatory diseases or chronic pelvic pain conditions could warrant a hysterectomy after considering all other treatment options. The decision to undergo a hysterectomy is profoundly personal and typically involves careful consultation with medical professionals to weigh the potential benefits and risks based on an individual’s unique health circumstances.
