Hysterectomy Overview
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It may be recommended to treat various gynecological conditions when other treatments are not effective. After a hysterectomy, menstruation stops, and pregnancy is no longer possible.
Hysterectomies can be performed in different ways, but laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions, a camera, and specialized instruments, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

A hysterectomy may be advised for conditions such as:
- Uterine fibroids causing heavy bleeding or pain
- Endometriosis
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Abnormal uterine bleeding that does not respond to other treatments
- Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer
- Adenomyosis
- Uterine prolapse
