Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterus, typically recommended to address various gynecological conditions.
If you are considering a hysterectomy in Dubai, you may consult Dr. Marwa Elajami, as she offers expert consultation, personalized treatment plans, and advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for your health.
What is Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. This means that you will no longer experience menstrual periods or be able to conceive. It is often recommended for medical conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, heavy bleeding, or certain types of cancer. Depending on your diagnosis, additional reproductive organs such as the cervix, fallopian tubes, or ovaries may also be removed.
Types of Hysterectomy
Dr. Marwa specializes in different types of hysterectomy procedures, customized to meet each patient’s specific needs:
Total Hysterectomy –
Complete removal of both the uterus and cervix.
Sub-total (Partial) Hysterectomy –
It is a partial removal of the uterus while keeping the cervix intact.
Radical Hysterectomy –
It includes almost complete removal of the uterus, cervix, surrounding tissue, but, in some cases, part of the vagina (typically performed for cancer treatment).
In some cases, removal of fallopian tubes is recommended to avoid the risk of ovarian cancer.
Why might You need a hysterectomy in Dubai?
A hysterectomy treatment may be considered if other treatments fail to provide relief from conditions such as:
- Fibroids – Non-cancerous uterine growths that might cause pain or excessive bleeding.
- Endometriosis or Adenomyosis – Conditions that lead to severe pelvic pain and heavy menstrual cycles.
- Uterine Prolapse – It is a condition where the uterus slips down into the vaginal canal due to weakened supporting tissues.
- Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – A persistent infection that affects the reproductive organs.
- Cancer or Pre-cancerous Conditions – Cervical, uterine, ovarian, or fallopian tube cancers that require surgical removal for medical safety.
Do you need a doctor’s referral?
Yes, your GP’s or gynecologist referral is required for a thorough assessment to determine whether a hysterectomy is the right treatment for you.
How is a hysterectomy performed?
Dr. Marwa offers multiple surgical approaches, depending on your condition and medical history:
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Minimally Invasive Surgery) – A keyhole procedure performed using small incisions and a tiny camera-guided instrument (laparoscope).
- Vaginal Hysterectomy – The uterus is removed via vagina, leaving no visible scars.
- Abdominal Hysterectomy – An open surgical procedure involving an incision in the lower abdomen, generally recommended for larger fibroids or cancer treatment.
Your gynecologist will recommend the best surgical approach based on your specific condition.
Recovery After Hysterectomy
The recovery period depends on the type of surgery performed and your overall health. On average, recovery times include:
- Laparoscopic or Vaginal Hysterectomy – Up to 4 weeks
- Abdominal Hysterectomy – Up to 6 weeks
After the procedure:
- Menstrual cycles will stop permanently.
- Contraception will no longer be necessary.
- Hormonal therapy (MHT) may be advised to manage menopausal symptoms, particularly if the ovaries are removed.
Risks associated with a hysterectomy
As with any surgery, a hysterectomy carries some potential risks, including:
- Blood loss
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Reactions to anesthesia
- Injury to surrounding organs like bladder, bowel, or ureters
Dr. Marwa takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery process for her patients.
