Histerectomía

– that preserves your ovaries. Whenever possible, it is a good idea to keep your ovaries to help protect your heart and maintain healthy hormone levels.

– which allows you to keep your cervix (the bottom part of your uterus).

– Depending on your needs and condition, it is sometimes possible to remove your uterus vaginally. It is less invasive, and usually means only a day in the hospital, with a faster recovery time.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman’s womb (uterus). Hysterectomies are one of the most common surgeries performed on women, second only to Caesarian sections (C-section). Depending on the reason for the procedure, the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries may also be removed.

In a “traditional” hysterectomy, the cervix and uterus are removed; the fallopian tubes and ovaries may, or may not be removed, depending on the reason behind the hysterectomy.

A woman may require a hysterectomy in order to stop excessive bleeding, to remove a fibroid. A fibroid is usually non-cancerous and can range widely in size. Some are extremely small (the size of a pea) to extremely large (the size of a grapefruit or larger). Other common reasons include endometriosis, pelvic support disorders (uterus drops), trauma, and cancer.

The cervix is very muscular, providing stability and support for both the vagina and the uterus. Some surgeons believe that preserving the cervix may help reduce chances of developing stress urinary incontinence. Some studies also indicate it may aid in sexual arousal and achieving climax.

Ovaries secrete hormones such as progesterone and estrogen. If removed, menopause begins immediately. Preserving them avoids this, maintaining natural hormone levels. Menopause increases risk for osteoporosis, stroke, and heart disease.

Every surgery has risks. Possible complications include infections, bleeding, bladder or bowel injury, and anesthesia-related issues such as nausea or dizziness. Rare complications include incontinence or incomplete bladder emptying.

Options include total abdominal hysterectomy (with large fibroids), vaginal hysterectomy (less scarring, faster recovery), and laparoscopic hysterectomy (done with a camera and instruments through the vagina). The best method depends on the condition.
