Hysterectomy – Purpose, Procedure, Risk & Recovery

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous cells that develop in the uterus, which is the most common reason for having a hysterectomy. Fibroids would lead to painful sensations and heavy bleeding. At first, a doctor might suggest the use of less invasive procedures like myomectomy or medications. But when these options fail or when the masses keep growing and lead to more serious symptoms, a hysterectomy would be the last resort to remove the growths permanently. [2]
