A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the uterus. It can be performed for various medical reasons, such as treating uterine cancer, severe endometriosis, or persistent pelvic pain. There are different types of hysterectomies, including total (removal of the uterus and cervix) and subtotal or partial (removal of the uterus but leaving the cervix intact). It's a major surgery with potential implications on reproductive health and hormonal balance, so it's important to discuss the procedure thoroughly with your Gynaecologist before making a decision.
