Can I have uterus removal surgery?

Hello Shankari ji,

When is Uterus Removal Surgery Advised?

Doctors may suggest uterus removal surgery if you have:

• Heavy or long periods that don’t improve with medicine

• Uterine fibroids (rasoli) causing pain or pressure

• Uterine prolapse (uterus slips down into the vagina)

• Endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain

• Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries

Surgical Techniques (Latest Options)

• Abdominal Hysterectomy – done through a cut on the stomach (older method)

• Vaginal Hysterectomy – uterus removed through the vagina (no external cut)

• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy – small holes and a camera are used for less pain and faster healing

• Robotic-Assisted Surgery – advanced and highly precise, used in some centres

Recovery Time

• Hospital stay: 2–3 days (laparoscopic), 4–5 days (open surgery)

• Full recovery: 4–6 weeks (may be shorter with advanced methods)

• You can resume light work in about 2–3 weeks if healing is smooth

Financing Options

• Personal health insurance may cover the cost

• Some government health cards and state schemes provide cashless options

• EMI or hospital-based payment plans are also available in private hospitals
