Hysterectomy

Can you imagine living free from the discomfort of fibroids, endometriosis, or persistent bleeding that disrupts your daily life?

A hysterectomy may be the solution you need to regain peace of mind and improve your quality of life.

At Costamed Medical Group, we understand how important it is to make informed choices, which is why we’ve created this clear, friendly guide to help you understand the procedure.

Why Consider a Hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy is the partial or total removal of the uterus.
 

It can be performed through open surgery or using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, depending on your individual case.
 

It is commonly recommended when dealing with:

• Uterine fibroids (myomas): Can cause heavy bleeding and pelvic pain
• Endometriosis: Uterine tissue growing outside the uterus, causing chronic pain
• Abnormal uterine bleeding: When other treatments haven’t worked
• Uterine cancer: In oncology cases, hysterectomy is often the most effective life-saving option

The surgery not only relieves uncomfortable symptoms but can restore the sense of safety and comfort you felt before they began.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

There are different approaches depending on case complexity:

Open Surgery

Involves an incision in the lower abdomen, giving the surgeon full access to the pelvic area

Common in complicated cases or when surrounding organs must be inspected

Laparoscopic Surgery

Involves small incisions through which a camera and instruments are inserted

Benefits: Less postoperative pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery

Regardless of the technique, the goal is to remove the uterus safely while minimizing risks and focusing on a smooth recovery.

How Do You Know If You Need a Hysterectomy?

• Chronic pelvic pain: If it impacts your daily life and doesn’t improve with less invasive treatments
• Heavy or irregular bleeding: When medications or other therapies don’t help
• Large or multiple fibroids: Causing constant pressure or pain
• Diagnosis of uterine cancer: As a definitive way to stop disease progression

Every woman is different. Your gynecologist or women’s health specialist will evaluate your case personally and recommend the best course of action.

Clear Benefits of a Hysterectomy

• Symptom relief: Say goodbye to chronic pain and bleeding that limits your life
• Improved quality of life: Get back to daily activities without fear of unexpected symptoms
• Definitive solution for fibroids or advanced endometriosis: Avoid recurring treatments
• Future complication prevention: Especially in high-risk cancer cases, hysterectomy can be a highly effective preventive measure
