Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic uterine fibroids causing pain, bleeding, or pressure.
- Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into or out of the vaginal canal.
- Abnormal uterine bleeding (menorrhagia, metrorrhagia) unresponsive to medication or other procedures.
- Chronic pelvic pain directly linked to uterine pathology.
- Adenomyosis (a condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall).
- Precancerous conditions of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia) or early-stage endometrial cancer in select cases.
- Recurrent endometrial polyps.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history, physical exam, and possibly a pelvic ultrasound.
- Discuss all current medications with your doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners or supplements.
- Undergo pre-operative tests such as blood work, ECG, or chest X-ray as advised.
- You may be given a bowel preparation (enema or laxative) to empty the rectum.
- Fast (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery days.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding (hemorrhage) during or after surgery, potentially requiring a blood transfusion.
- Infection at the surgical site, in the urinary tract, or in the pelvis.
- Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder, ureters, or rectum.
- Formation of blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) which can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
- Adverse reaction to anaesthesia.
- Early onset of menopausal symptoms if the ovaries are also removed (oophorectomy).
- Rare risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence (separation of the surgical closure at the top of the vagina).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay is typically 1-2 days for monitoring and pain management.
- Vaginal bleeding or discharge is normal for several weeks; use sanitary pads, not tampons.
- Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg), strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 6-8 weeks.
- Manage pain with prescribed medications and use a pillow for support when coughing or sneezing.
- Gradually increase walking and light activities to promote circulation and healing.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
- Contact your doctor immediately for signs of infection (fever, severe pain, foul-smelling discharge) or heavy bleeding.
