When does your gynecologist or urogynecologist suggest hysterectomy?
Medical conditions that will make your gynecologist prefer hysterectomy are as follows:
- Fibroids – Fibroids are benign tumors that grow on the walls of the uterus. They may grow outside or on the inside of the uterus. Usually, myomectomy is performed to remove fibroids but when they are recurring and if you don’t intend to get pregnant in the future, removal of the uterus may be an option.
- Heavy or irregular menstrual periods. In women who are suffering from irregular menstrual periods due to various reasons, an endometrial ablation procedure may be an option. If your gynecologist prefers a hysterectomy instead, he/she may suggest you go for it.
- Recurring endometriosis and severe period pain.
- Risk of cancer to the cervix, uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes
- Adenomyosis
- Prolapse of the uterus – when the uterus falls off from its actual place into the vagina due to weakening of pelvic muscles that hold it in its place.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
