A hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus and may be performed in different ways. Symptoms and treatment needs vary between patients.
Assessment may include gynecology assessment, imaging, blood tests and discussion of alternatives. The clinician selects tests according to symptoms and findings.
Abdominal, vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy when clinically appropriate. The choice depends on diagnosis, risks, preferences and overall health.
Return to routine is gradual after surgery. Your care team will provide personalised instructions and review timing.
Heavy bleeding, fever, chest pain or worsening abdominal pain after surgery needs urgent care.
