Understanding Hysterectomy

Understanding Hysterectomy

For many women the decision to undergo a hysterectomy is as traumatic emotionally as well as it is physical. For conditions such as uterine and ovarian cancer the decision is generally clear cut and obvious, however for “lesser” conditions many women want to leave no stone unturned in seeing a non-surgical resolution to their problems. Hysterectomy is a serious and irreversible medical procedure. There are numerous options with the type of surgery involved in a hysterectomy and also the additional surgical “extras” that may be performed as part of the procedure. In some situation the ramification of these “extras” are not clearly identified to patients prior to undergoing hysterectomy.
