A vaginal hysterectomy is a way to take out the uterus through the vagina. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina.
Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus.
This procedure may be done when you have tumors in your uterus or consistent bleeding from your uterus. You should ask your doctor about these choices. Plan for your care and recovery after the operation. Be sure to tell your doctor what medicines you are taking, including nonprescription drugs and herbal remedies. Follow instructions provided by your doctor.
