Hysterectomy in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the womb (uterus). After it, you will not have periods and cannot become pregnant. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, gynaecologists perform hysterectomy by open surgery and by laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, and discuss alternatives before advising an operation.

Why might a hysterectomy be recommended?

  • Heavy or prolonged periods that have not improved with other treatment
  • Large or multiple fibroids causing symptoms
  • Adenomyosis or endometriosis causing severe pain
  • Prolapse of the womb
  • Some cancers or pre-cancerous changes of the womb, cervix or ovaries (see gynaecological cancer surgery)

Types of hysterectomy

  • Total hysterectomy: the womb and cervix are removed. This is the most common type.
  • Subtotal hysterectomy: the womb is removed but the cervix is left.
  • Hysterectomy with removal of the ovaries and tubes: sometimes advised, depending on age and the reason for surgery.

Open vs laparoscopic hysterectomy

In an open (abdominal) hysterectomy, the womb is removed through a cut in the lower tummy. It may be preferred for a very large womb or complex cases.

In a laparoscopic (keyhole) hysterectomy, the surgeon works through a few small cuts using a camera. Most women have less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activities. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: laparoscopic hysterectomy performed in-house; whether vaginal hysterectomy is also offered]

Your gynaecologist will recommend the approach that is safest for you.

Alternatives to hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is permanent, so other options are usually considered first. These can include medicines to control bleeding or pain, a hormone-releasing coil, or removing fibroids only (myomectomy) if you wish to keep your womb.

Before your surgery

  • Blood tests, ultrasound and a check-up with the anaesthetist
  • Advice on stopping or continuing your usual medicines
  • Fasting instructions for the day of surgery

Recovery after hysterectomy

  • Hospital stay is usually 2 to 3 days after laparoscopic surgery and 3 to 5 days after open surgery [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: typical stays at Apex]
  • Most women return to light activities in 2 to 4 weeks after keyhole surgery, and about 6 weeks after open surgery
  • Avoid heavy lifting and sexual intercourse until your doctor says it is safe
  • If your ovaries are removed before menopause, you may have menopause symptoms. Your doctor will discuss treatment options.

Risks of hysterectomy

Possible risks include bleeding, infection, blood clots, reactions to anaesthesia, and, less often, injury to the bladder, bowel or ureters. Some women need a change from laparoscopic to open surgery during the operation. Your surgeon will explain your personal risks.

Frequently asked questions

Will I still have periods after a hysterectomy?

No. Periods stop after a hysterectomy because the womb is removed.

Does a hysterectomy cause menopause?

Only if both ovaries are removed before natural menopause. If the ovaries are kept, they usually continue to make hormones.

How long does it take to recover from a laparoscopic hysterectomy?

Most women return to light activities within 2 to 4 weeks. Full recovery can take longer.

Is laparoscopic hysterectomy better than open surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery usually means less pain and faster recovery, but it is not suitable for everyone. Your gynaecologist will advise the safest option.

What is the cost of a hysterectomy at Apex Hospital?

The cost depends on the type of surgery and room category. Call +91 85912 35064 for an estimate. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: package range in Rs]
