👉Why it's necessary
- Hysterectomy

According to Dr Rekha Agrawal MS GYNAECOLOGIST (Gold medalist)
A hysterectomy is a major operation for a woman that's only recommended if other treatment options have been unsuccessful.

The most common reasons for having a hysterectomy include:

👉Heavy periods –
which can be caused by fibroids
👉pelvic pain – which may be caused by endometriosis, unsuccessfully treated pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), adenomyosis or fibroids
prolapse of the uterus
cancer of the womb, ovaries or cervix
Heavy periods

Many women lose a large amount of blood during their periods. They may also experience other symptoms, such as pain and stomach cramps.

For some women, the symptoms can have a significant impact on their quality of life.

Sometimes heavy periods can be caused by fibroids, but in many cases there's no obvious cause.

In some cases, removing the womb may be the only way of stopping persistent heavy menstrual bleeding when:

other treatments have not worked
the bleeding has a significant impact on quality of life and it's preferable for periods to stop
the woman no longer wishes to have children
