What is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus.
After this surgery, periods stop permanently and pregnancy is no longer possible.
It is recommended when other medical treatments have failed or when the condition is severe.

A hysterectomy may be advised in the following conditions:
-
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding

Large, multiple or symptomatic fibroids
-

-
Chronic pelvic pain

Adenomyosis

Uterine prolapse
-
Recurrent infections
