What Is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus and sometimes the cervix, and in selected cases, the ovaries and fallopian tubes. After this surgery, periods stop permanently, and pregnancy is no longer possible.
Types of hysterectomy:
Total
Uterus and cervix
removed
Subtotal
Upper uterus removed, cervix
preserved
Radical
Uterus, cervix and nearby tissues removed
Approaches used: laparoscopic, vaginal, or abdominal, chosen as per your condition and safety.
When Is Hysterectomy Recommended?
Hysterectomy is usually advised when symptoms are severe and persistent, and conservative treatments are not helping.
Common reasons include:
Heavy, prolonged, or irregular bleeding
Uterine or cervical cancer, or a strong suspicion
Endometriosis with chronic pain
Uterine prolapse causing discomfort or pressure
Symptomatic fibroids or adenomyosis
Dr Shah discusses all alternatives with you before recommending surgery so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Medicines, hormonal IUDs, myomectomy, and other procedures are often tried first. Hysterectomy is considered when these fail, are not suitable, or when there is cancer or a high risk of cancer.
If your ovaries are removed, you will have surgical menopause with possible hot flashes and mood changes. If ovaries are left in place, your hormones and menopause timing are usually similar to your natural pattern.
With a laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy, most women go home in 1–2 days. Abdominal hysterectomy may require a slightly longer stay, depending on recovery.
Light desk work often resumes in 2-3 weeks after a laparoscopic hysterectomy, while heavy physical work may need 4-6 weeks. Your doctor will guide you based on your healing and job type.
Once healing is complete, many women actually find sex more comfortable as pain and heavy bleeding are gone. If ovaries are removed, hormone changes may temporarily affect desire or lubrication, which can be managed with medical support
