Understanding Hysterectomy: When It's the Right Choice, We're Here to Help
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It may be recommended for severe, persistent conditions that other treatments haven't resolved, such as:
- Heavy, Uncontrollable Bleeding: Menstrual bleeding that significantly disrupts daily life and doesn't improve with medication or other options.
- Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths that cause pain, heavy bleeding, or pelvic pressure.
- Endometriosis: When uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to pain and potential infertility.
- Prolapse: Weakening of pelvic floor muscles, causing the uterus to descend into the vagina.
- Certain Cancers: Gynecological cancers may necessitate a hysterectomy as part of treatment.
