What is a hysterectomy?<\/h3>

A hysterectomy is a type of women\u2019s health surgery to remove your uterus and sometimes other reproductive organs, such as your:<\/p>

  • Ovaries<\/li>
  • Fallopian tubes<\/li>
  • Cervix<\/li>
  • Lymph nodes<\/li><\/ul>

    You cannot become pregnant after a hysterectomy. You also stop having your period since you no longer have a uterus, which makes a hysterectomy an effective solution to stop heavy bleeding.\u00a0<\/p>

    Why would I need a hysterectomy?<\/h2>

    A hysterectomy may be necessary to address a health issue when other treatments haven\u2019t resolved your symptoms. The team of experienced gynecology practitioners at Elite Women’s Care may recommend a hysterectomy for conditions such as:<\/p>

    • Uterine fibroids<\/li>
    • Heavy uterine bleeding<\/li>
    • Endometriosis<\/li>
    • Adenomyosis<\/li><\/ul>

      Elite Women’s Care also recommends a hysterectomy for uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus slips down into the vagina. Hysterectomy is also used to treat cancer of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, or endometrium.<\/p>

      What are the types of hysterectomies?<\/h2>

      If you need a hysterectomy, your practitioner at Elite Women’s Care discusses the different types of surgeries, as there are a few ways to perform the procedure. These include:<\/p>

      Vaginal hysterectomy<\/strong><\/p>

      Your practitioner goes in through your vagina and performs the surgery with laparoscopic devices, so you have no visible scars. Recovery takes around 3-4 weeks.<\/p>

      Laparoscopic hysterectomy<\/strong><\/p>

      After making a few minor incisions in your abdomen or vagina, your practitioner uses a camera-equipped device called a laparoscope and long surgical instruments to perform your surgery. Your recovery time is 3-4 weeks.<\/p>

      da Vinci robotic surgery<\/strong><\/p>

      Your practitioner makes several tiny abdominal incisions using small surgical instruments on the ends of robotic arms. During your surgery, a camera provides a real-time 3D view of the inside of your abdomen and your surgeon is in complete control of the robotic arms.<\/p>

      What are the advantages of a da Vinci hysterectomy?<\/h2>

      Surgery with the da Vinci robotic system is a procedure that requires much smaller incisions than traditional open surgery. Research shows that this type of hysterectomy may offer a number of advantages over open surgery, such as:<\/p>

      • Fewer days in the hospital<\/li>
      • Less blood loss<\/li>
      • Fewer complications<\/li>
      • Less need for pain relievers<\/li>
      • A speedier recovery<\/li>
      • Minimal scarring<\/li><\/ul>

        To fully explore all of your options for a hysterectomy, call the team at Elite Women’s Care or book a consultation online.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
