Understanding Hysterectomy Description
|
|
Hysterectomy- removal of the uterus- is a way of treating problems that affect the uterus. Many conditions can be cured with hysterectomy. Because it is major surgery, your doctor may suggest trying other treatments first. For conditions that have not responded to other treatments, a hysterectomy may be the best choice. It depends on the effect of the condition and the surgery on your life. You should be fully informed of all options before you decide.
This pamphlet explains:
- Reasons for having a hysterectomy
- Ways hysterectomy is performed
- Risks of hysterectomy
- Recovery after surgery
