Book with Dr Amita Dube
The central point
Hysterectomy is major surgery and ends the ability to carry a pregnancy.
The recommendation should connect the diagnosis and symptoms with non-surgical alternatives, the proposed abdominal or vaginal route, whether the cervix or ovaries are affected, and realistic recovery expectations.
The decisions that need a clear answer.
Discuss alternatives
Explain observation, medicine or less extensive procedures when they are reasonable for the individual situation.
Define the operation
Clarify the proposed route and whether the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries are planned to be removed or retained.
Plan recovery
Discuss hospital stay, pain control, mobility, thrombosis prevention, activity restrictions, follow-up and warning signs.

Questions about hysterectomy
Abdominal and vaginal approaches have different indications and recovery considerations.
Reception can help with appointment details
No. Ovary removal is a separate decision based on age, diagnosis, risk and informed discussion.
It depends on whether the cervix remains and on previous cervical results. Ask for an individual screening plan.
No. Removal of the uterus is permanent and pregnancy cannot be carried afterwards.
The hospital is selected according to the required approach, clinical needs and availability. Surgery is not presented as taking place inside Maa Clinic.
Recovery varies by approach and individual health. The surgical team should give specific guidance for work, lifting, driving, exercise and sexual activity.
