Vaginal Hysterectomy

Indications for Vaginal Hysterectomy

Vaginal hysterectomy may be recommended for various medical conditions, including:

• Uterine Prolapse: When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic support structures.
• Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that cause pain, heavy bleeding, or pressure symptoms.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Persistent or severe bleeding that does not respond to other treatments.
• Endometriosis: When endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain and bleeding.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region that may be related to uterine conditions.

The Vaginal Hysterectomy ProcedureVaginal hysterectomy is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia. The steps involved in the procedure include:

• Preparation: Patients receive pre-operative instructions, including fasting guidelines and medication adjustments, to prepare for the procedure.
• Surgical Approach: The surgeon makes an incision inside the vagina to access and remove the uterus.
• Uterus Removal: The uterus is carefully detached from surrounding tissues and ligaments and then removed through the vaginal opening.
• Closure: The incision inside the vagina is closed with sutures, and the patient is monitored in the recovery area before being discharged.

Recovery and Post-Operative CareThe recovery period following a vaginal hysterectomy is generally shorter than other types of hysterectomy. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Our team at Neo TrueNorth provides detailed post-operative care instructions, including:

• Pain Management: Recommendations for managing any discomfort with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications.
• Activity Restrictions: Guidance on resuming normal activities, avoiding heavy lifting, and refraining from sexual intercourse for a specified period.
• Follow-Up Care: Scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and ensure proper healing.
