Understanding Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s uterus or womb. It is a common solution for various gynaecological issues, including chronic pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, and certain cancers. Depending on the condition, a hysterectomy may also be combined with the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
At Gynae Care Kolkata, under the expertise of Dr. Sujata Datta, we offer robotic-assisted hysterectomy, an advanced, minimally invasive solution for women seeking effective, safe, and quicker recovery options.
Common Causes for Hysterectomy
Several medical conditions may necessitate a hysterectomy:
- Uterine Fibroids: These are benign tumors that form within the muscular wall of the uterus. They can lead to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic discomfort, and a sensation of pressure on surrounding organs.
- Endometriosis: A painful condition in which tissue resembling the endometrium grows in areas outside the uterus, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes, often causing chronic pelvic pain and potentially affecting fertility.
- Uterine Cancer or Cervical Cancer: Malignant growths that may require removal of the uterus as part of cancer management.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain unresponsive to other treatments.
- Adenomyosis: When the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall of the uterus, causing severe cramps and heavy bleeding.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Uncontrolled bleeding that does not respond to medication or other treatments.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for a Hysterectomy
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, consult with a gynaecologist to evaluate your condition:
- Heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Severe pelvic pain or cramping
- Pain during intercourse
- Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Chronic lower back pain
Early diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent complications and improve quality of life.
