Vaginal Hysterectomy

About Vaginal Hysterectomy

Vaginal hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed through the vaginal route, without any external abdominal incisions. It is commonly recommended for conditions such as uterine prolapse, fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, or other non-cancerous gynecological issues when conservative treatments have not provided relief. Compared to abdominal surgery, vaginal hysterectomy usually involves less pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and minimal scarring, allowing women to return to their daily activities sooner.
