Hysterectomy surgery is a gynaecology operation to remove a diseased, damaged, or beyond treatable uterus- the womb. It is commonly undertaken by women aged near their mid-age when other treatments available for gynaecological conditions have failed or when they are at reproductive health risk. The surgery makes women experience menopause at a young age and lose their ability to become pregnant.

Here are all possible cases where Hysterectomy treatment in Mumbai is considered:

Serious uterine conditions

Hysterectomy is indicated as a permanent solution for:

• uterine fibroids (benign growths)
• endometriosis (growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus)
• adenomyosis (uterine lining growing into the wall of uterine muscle)
• uterine prolapse (descent of the uterus into the vagina).

Gynaecologic cancers

Hysterectomy can be a part of the plan of cancer treatment for various reproductive system cancers like uterine cancer, cervical cancer, or ovarian cancer when radiation therapy/chemotherapy is not a successful or suitable option.

Other situations

Hysterectomy might be recommended by a gynaecologist surgeon if medications or less invasive procedures are not helpful for:

• controlling heavy menses or regulating irregular menstrual bleeding
• relieving long-term pelvic pain stemming from uterine conditions.

Besides, a hysterectomy can even be undergone by non-binary or transgender individuals for gender affirmation.

Depending on the reason for which hysterectomy is to be performed and how much of the uterus and surrounding female reproductive parts can be preserved, there are different types of hysterectomy surgeries. The most commonly performed hysterectomy is a total hysterectomy where the whole womb along with the cervix is removed. Other types include subtotal hysterectomy (removal of the only uterus); total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the womb, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries); and radical hysterectomy (removal of the womb and surrounding tissues, including the portion of the vagina, lymph glands, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and fatty tissue). The removal can be done laparoscopically or through a cut at the top of the vagina (vaginally) or in the lower abdomen (abdominally).
