Hysterectomy – Purpose, Procedure, Risk & Recovery

Hysterectomy Procedure

Before a Hysterectomy

Before starting the surgery, your doctor needs to explain the whole process in detail, including necessary steps, preparation, complications, as well as possible side effects. Any of your question will also be answered. After that, urine and blood tests are needed to help the doctor prepare the right gear and equipment. Hair in your pelvic and abdominal regions might be trimmed for easier operations. Lastly, an intravenous (IV) line would be put in your arm vein to send fluids and medications. [10]
