A hysterectomy involves removing the uterus surgically. Following the procedure, you will lose the ability to become pregnant. This surgery is performed due to abnormal bleeding, uterine prolapse, fibroids, or cancer. Recovery depends on the type of surgery performed; however, it usually takes four to six weeks.
You may be the ideal candidate for a hysterectomy if you have any of the following:
Provide your blood and urine samples before the procedure for testing. The doctor will explain the procedure, including all the possible complications and side effects. Talk to your doctor about any concerns that you may have.
Your healthcare provider will determine the type of hysterectomy you need. You will get hooked up to monitors to track your heart rate. An intravenous (IV) line is placed to deliver medications and fluids. An anesthesiologist will give you either general anesthesia or an epidural.
The procedure will last one to three hours depending on the size of the uterus, the need to take down damage from previous surgeries, and if other tissues like endometrial tissue or organs such as the ovaries or the fallopian tubes are being removed from the uterus.
