What Is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. Depending on the reason for surgery and your individual case, it may also involve removing the cervix, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. Once the uterus is removed, periods stop permanently and pregnancy is no longer possible.
It's generally considered when other treatments haven't managed a condition effectively, or when the condition itself requires it, such as certain cancers. The decision to proceed, and which structures to remove, is made jointly between you and your gynaecologist based on your diagnosis, age, and preferences.
When Is a Hysterectomy Recommended?
Your gynaecologist may recommend a hysterectomy for conditions such as:
-
Uterine fibroids that are large, numerous, or not responding to other treatments
-
Abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding that hasn't improved with medication or less invasive procedures
-
Adenomyosis, where uterine lining tissue grows into the uterine wall
-
Severe endometriosis affecting the uterus
-
Uterine prolapse, where the uterus shifts down into the vaginal canal
-
Chronic pelvic pain linked to a uterine condition
-
Certain gynaecological cancers, such as cancer of the uterus or cervix
Who Should Consider a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is generally considered once fertility preservation is no longer a priority, or when a condition can't be managed effectively through medication or less invasive surgery such as myomectomy. It's a permanent procedure, so your gynaecologist will discuss your specific diagnosis, alternatives, and long-term implications before recommending it.
This page is meant to help you understand your options, it does not replace a personal consultation with your gynaecologist.
Types of Hysterectomy
The type recommended depends on the underlying condition and how much tissue needs to be removed.
-
Total hysterectomy: removes the uterus and cervix; the most common type performed
-
Subtotal (partial) hysterectomy: removes the uterus but leaves the cervix in place
-
Radical hysterectomy: removes the uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissue, typically performed for certain gynaecological cancers
-
With or without oophorectomy: the ovaries may be removed at the same time, or left in place, depending on your age, diagnosis, and preference
Whether the ovaries are removed makes a significant difference. If they're left in place, they continue producing hormones until natural menopause occurs. If both ovaries are removed, it brings on immediate surgical menopause, regardless of your age.
Surgical Approaches
-
Abdominal (open) hysterectomy: through a larger abdominal incision, generally used for larger uteruses or complex cases
-
Vaginal hysterectomy: through the vaginal canal, with no external incision, often suited to prolapse cases
-
Laparoscopic hysterectomy: through a few small abdominal incisions using a camera and fine instruments
-
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy: a laparoscopic approach guided by robotic instruments for added precision, where available
-
Your gynaecologist will recommend the approach best suited to your uterus size, diagnosis, and overall health.
How to Prepare for a Hysterectomy
Share your complete medical history, including any bleeding disorders or ongoing medication
-
Complete pre-surgery tests and imaging as advised
-
Discuss whether ovary removal is being planned, and ask about its implications for hormone levels
-
Follow fasting instructions before the surgery, since it involves general anaesthesia
-
Arrange support at home for the first couple of weeks after surgery
-
Ask your gynaecologist about any medication to pause or continue before surgery
What to Expect After a Hysterectomy (Recovery)
Recovery time depends largely on the surgical approach used.
-
Vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy: most women resume normal activities within two to four weeks
-
Abdominal (open) hysterectomy: recovery generally takes six to eight weeks
-
Periods stop permanently after a hysterectomy, regardless of the approach used
-
If the ovaries are removed, menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes may begin soon after surgery, and your gynaecologist may discuss hormone therapy if needed
-
If the ovaries are preserved, they continue functioning until natural menopause occurs at its usual time
Risks and Limitations
Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed gynaecological surgeries, but like any major surgery, it carries some risk.
-
Bleeding or infection, which is uncommon and manageable with prompt treatment
-
Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder, bowel, or ureter, which is rare
-
Risks associated with general anaesthesia, as with any major surgery
-
Immediate surgical menopause if both ovaries are removed, which can bring on menopausal symptoms sooner than they would occur naturally
-
Emotional adjustment for some women, given the permanence of the procedure and the end of fertility
Your gynaecologist will go through your individual risk factors, based on your diagnosis and overall health, before you decide on surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I go into menopause after a hysterectomy?
Only if both ovaries are removed at the same time. A hysterectomy removes the uterus, not the ovaries, so if your ovaries are preserved, they continue producing hormones and natural menopause happens at its usual time.
Is a hysterectomy the same as removing my ovaries?
No. A hysterectomy removes the uterus. Removing the ovaries is a separate procedure called an oophorectomy, which is sometimes done at the same time depending on your diagnosis and preference, but not always.
How long is recovery after a hysterectomy?
Recovery is generally two to four weeks after a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy, and six to eight weeks after an open abdominal hysterectomy.
Hysterectomy vs myomectomy: what's the difference?
Myomectomy removes only the fibroids and preserves the uterus, so periods and fertility can continue. A hysterectomy removes the uterus entirely and is considered when fertility preservation isn't a priority or the condition can't be managed any other way.
Will a hysterectomy affect my sex life?
Many women continue to have a healthy sex life after a hysterectomy, though this varies by individual and depends partly on whether the ovaries are removed. Your gynaecologist can talk you through what to expect based on your specific surgery.
Can a hysterectomy be avoided?
In many cases, yes, if the underlying condition responds to medication or less invasive procedures such as myomectomy. Your gynaecologist will discuss all suitable alternatives before recommending a hysterectomy.
How much does a hysterectomy cost in Noida?
Cost depends on the type of hysterectomy, the surgical approach used, the hospital, and any additional tests required.
Is hysterectomy covered under insurance?
Hysterectomy is often covered under health insurance policies when medically indicated, subject to your specific policy terms.
