BANGKOK
Vejthani Hospital Bangkok offers vaginal hysterectomy the way to remove the uterus without any visible cuts or scars after surgery at Women Health Center.
Vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through the vagina. During a vaginal hysterectomy, the surgeon detaches the uterus from the ovaries, fallopian tubes and upper vagina, as well as from the blood vessels and connective tissue that support it. The uterus is then removed through the vagina.
Vaginal hysterectomy involves a shorter time in the hospital, lower cost and faster recovery than an abdominal hysterectomy, which requires an incision in your lower abdomen. However, if your uterus is enlarged, vaginal hysterectomy may not be possible.
Vaginal hysterectomy is a preferred option for many women, as it avoids the need for a long abdominal cut. An abdominal procedure is generally recommended when large fibroids or cancer are present. A hysterectomy is a treatment option for a number of conditions that affect the reproductive system, including:
- Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Endometriosis
- Prolapse
- Cancer of the uterus, ovary or cervix (neck of the womb)
- Fibroids (non-cancerous growths of the womb) that are very enlarged
A vaginal hysterectomy is where your womb is removed through your vagina. Your ovaries are usually left in place because they produce estrogen – if you have these removed; you will immediately go through the menopause.
Vaginal Hysterectomy Surgery
The operation usually takes about an hour. Your surgeon will pass specially designed instruments through your vagina to remove your cervix and womb. He or she will then close the top of your vagina using dissolvable stitches and may place a tampon-shaped dressing (sometimes known as a pack) in your vagina. You won’t have any visible cuts or scars.
Recovery time
It usually takes about four to six weeks to make a full recovery from a vaginal hysterectomy, but this varies between individuals. Most women are able to return to work between two and six weeks after the operation but it will depend on the type of job you have and how physical it is.
