Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and the attached cervix. Uterus removal is a common treatment option considered for several medical conditions that affect the woman’s reproductive organs. These medical conditions include fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, pelvic pain, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, cancer of the uterus or ovaries, etc.
After a hysterectomy, a woman will not be able to get pregnant or menstruate. Some procedures involve the removal of both ovaries and the uterus. Depending on the cause for undergoing the surgery, the hysterectomy operation may involve the removal of surrounding tissues and organs, like, fallopian tubes(salpingectomy) and ovaries(oophorectomy).

Also called a total hysterectomy, it is the most common type of uterus removal surgery and entails the complete removal of the uterus and cervix. Total hysterectomy is often performed for medical conditions, such as fibroids, cancer, and endometriosis.
The removal of the uterus through the vagina is referred to as the vaginal hysterectomy. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper vagina, blood arteries, and connective tissue that support the uterus are all removed by the surgeon during a vaginal hysterectomy. The uterus is then removed by the surgeon. The procedure involves fewer complications, leaves fewer scars, and has a shorter recovery period.
This type of hysterectomy removes the uterus(womb), while leaving the cervix(neck of your womb) intact. Heavy or painful periods, fibroids(overgrown muscles of the womb), endometriosis, and abnormal vaginal bleeding are common medical conditions that require a subtotal hysterectomy. It helps to improve or cure your symptoms.
The procedure is always done through the abdomen and removes only the upper part of the uterus. The lower part of the uterus(cervix) is not removed, and the fallopian tubes and ovaries may or may not be removed.
Radical hysterectomy is used to treat several kinds of gynaecological cancers, including cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. During the procedure, the cervix, a part of the vagina, and the parametrium(connective tissue surrounding the cervix) are removed. If required, the doctor may also remove fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the lymph nodes.
This procedure involves the removal of fallopian tubes(salpingectomy) and ovaries(oophorectomy). The doctor may recommend the removal of the ovaries only if there is a significant risk of chronic health conditions, such as cancer.
To determine if a hysterectomy is needed, your doctor will check your medical history and symptoms and conduct a physical exam. For conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, and certain cancers, several tests may be performed, including:
Endometriosis refers to a condition in which the endometrial cells that make up the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterus. These cells usually grow in the ovaries, bowel, uterus, fallopian tubes, and bladder. Endometriosis causes pain and discomfort, along with bleeding during periods. It may also cause scarring, infertility, and the sticking together of organs and tissues.
With age, the muscles that keep a woman’s vagina or birth canal in place weaken and sag, causing the prolapse. During prolapse, the uterus may pull down the pelvic organs, including the rectum, urethra, vagina, and bladder. Over time, they prolapse from their normal place and push against the walls of the vagina. Some women experience a heavy or dragging sensation in the pelvic area as prolapse worsens.
A hysterectomy removes the organs that have cancer. It is done to prevent the cancer from spreading. Hysterectomy is proven to be an effective treatment option for various gynaecological cancers, including uterine and cervical cancer.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths originating from the muscular wall of the uterus. Uterine fibroids are also known as the myomas or uterine leiomyomas and are the most common type of cancer found in the female reproductive system. Fibroids may cause heavy bleeding, extreme pelvic discomfort, and pain in women, necessitating a hysterectomy.
Hysterectomy is required if the uterus is blocking the bladder or intestines.

Yes. Most insurance companies in India offer coverage for hysterectomy surgery, irrespective of the type of hysterectomy the patient is scheduled for. A hysterectomy or uterus removal surgery is only recommended in medically necessary scenarios, i.e., when the uterine issues can not be resolved through conservative methods and there’s a risk to the patient’s well-being. Therefore, patients can claim insurance for their uterus removal surgery.
The insurance coverage provided by different insurance companies for hysterectomy surgery varies. The amount one can claim may also differ based on the terms and conditions of the policy. So, it is important that the patient get a proper understanding of the coverage they’ll receive for their treatment from the insurance provider in advance.
At Pristyn Care, we provide complete assistance to patients in the insurance claim process so that they can claim the maximum amount for their hysterectomy surgery.

Know more: Is Uterus Removal Surgery (Hysterectomy) covered under Insurance?
No, conceiving after undergoing a hysterectomy is not possible. This surgery involves the removal of the womb or uterus, which is essential for pregnancy. Thus, if you are considering having children, discussing this with your doctor before proceeding with the surgery is important.
Lap hysterectomy uses a laparoscope to remove the uterus using several small incisions in the abdomen. It is a minimally invasive procedure and leads to fewer scars, reduced pain, and faster recovery.
Hysterectomy doesn’t affect or trigger menopause unless the ovaries are removed during the surgery. If the ovaries are removed during the procedure, the patient may enter menopause after the surgery. Some women may also experience symptoms, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.
Depending on the type of surgery, the uterus removal surgery recovery time varies. A laparoscopic hysterectomy has a shorter recovery time(2-3 weeks) than the traditional hysterectomy procedures(6-8 weeks).
Yes, sexual intercourse is possible after recovering from a hysterectomy. Some women report an improvement in their sex life after the procedure, mainly if the surgery was done to rectify a painful condition. However, it’s essential to follow your doctor’s advice on when to resume sexual activity.
Even though a hysterectomy often preserves the ovaries, some women may experience hormonal changes following the procedure. These include mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness. Your doctor might suggest hormonal replacement therapy to address the symptoms.
Depending on the type of surgery, the location, and the surgeon’s expertise, the cost of the hysterectomy procedure varies. You must also note that a laparoscopic hysterectomy usually costs more than an abdominal or vaginal one.
If the cervix is removed during the hysterectomy procedure, the risk of developing cervical cancer is significantly reduced but not eliminated. Regular screenings are still recommended, especially for women with a history of abnormal cervical screening results.
If your ovaries are also removed during the hysterectomy (a procedure referred to as oophorectomy), then you may experience sudden menopause. In such cases, doctors often recommend HRT to help manage the menopausal symptoms. However, if your ovaries were not removed during the surgery, they will continue to produce hormones and HRT might not be necessary.
While complete bed rest isn’t mandatory after a hysterectomy, patients are advised to rest for at least 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery or till they’re fully recovered and fit to get back to their routine. Activities of any sort (walking, weight lifting, etc.) should be avoided for a few weeks following the surgery.
