A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus, usually recommended if a woman has endometriosis, uterine fibroids, gynaecological cancer, genetic diseases, abnormal bleeding, pelvic organ prolapse, or chronic pain in the pelvis. Hysterectomy, like all surgical procedures, involves some side effects but best hysterectomy surgery hospital in Chennai takes extraordinary precautions to keep risks as low as possible.

A hysterectomy can be performed in several different ways where the organs may be removed through the abdomen or the vagina. A laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomy combining both approaches involve a part of the surgery performed through the abdomen, but the uterus may be removed through the vagina. The method used can play a role in the side effects that may be experienced after surgery.

Side effects of hysterectomy depend on surgical and health factors

While comparing a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy to an abdominal hysterectomy, there is an increased risk for complications like infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve damage, and bowel obstruction. However, common side effects of an abdominal hysterectomy can also be potentially caused by other types of surgery.

– partial hysterectomy that removes the uterus but leaves the cervix intact.

– standard hysterectomy where both the uterus and cervix are removed.

– total hysterectomy removes the uterus and cervix along with one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
