What to Expect Before Surgery
Our specialist will talk with you first. They examine your symptoms, review your medical history, and assess whether a hysterectomy is the right step.
You can explain what you feel, how long it has been happening, and what you hope to change.
Tests may include:
- A pelvic exam
- Ultrasound or MRI scans
- Blood tests
This step is about safety and about giving you clear choices. You can bring questions. You can ask for slow explanations. Everything is open and honest.
What Happens During Surgery
You are asleep under anaesthesia. A small or medium-length cut is made in the lower abdomen. The uterus and cervix are removed with care.
If there is a need to remove tubes or ovaries, your doctor will discuss that well before the operation.
The surgery takes place in a calm, controlled setting. A full team watches your comfort and safety from start to finish.
How Recovery Usually Feels
Most women stay in the hospital for a few days. Walking starts early, but only a few steps at a time. The pace is slow, and that is normal.
Recovery at home may involve:
- Light movement
- Avoiding lifting or stretching
- Eating small, gentle meals
- Resting without guilt
Healing often takes several weeks. Some days feel steady. Some feel heavy. Both are part of the process.
Benefits Many Women Notice Later
After healing, many women feel a quiet shift. A total abdominal hysterectomy can:
- Stop heavy or unpredictable bleeding
- Reduce chronic pelvic pain
- Remove fibroid-related pressure and discomfort
- Improve mobility and energy
- Resolve conditions that have disrupted daily life for years
- Reduce the need for ongoing treatments
A hysterectomy is a major choice, but for many, it opens the door to a calmer, more stable life.
