Abdominal hysterectomy

An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes your uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen. A partial hysterectomy removes just the uterus, leaving the cervix intact. A total hysterectomy removes the uterus and the cervix.

Abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended for various gynecological conditions, including:

Uterine Fibroids: Large or multiple fibroids in the uterus can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure. An abdominal hysterectomy may be considered when conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms.
Endometriosis: Endometriosis, characterized by the abnormal growth of uterine lining tissue outside the uterus, often leads to persistent pelvic discomfort and challenges with fertility. Abdominal hysterectomy may be an option for women with extensive endometriosis.
Uterine Prolapse: When the muscles and ligaments supporting the uterus weaken, the uterus can descend into the vaginal canal, causing discomfort, urinary incontinence, and other symptoms. Abdominal hysterectomy can be performed to address uterine prolapse.
Gynecologic Cancers: Abdominal hysterectomy may be part of the treatment plan for certain gynecologic cancers, including uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and cervical cancer.
