It is a lifesaver for many women who are at the risk of developing uterine cancer and have cancerous growth in the womb, ovaries or cervix. Some women simply can’t sustain discomfort from fibroids and pain due to abnormal heavy bleeding. Hysterectomy could be the ultimate solution to relieve pain forever, avoid severe endometriosis or prolapse (sagging) of the uterus. This should be only the last resort and these conditions can be treated otherwise too. The cause of discomfort or pain may be due to other factors hence, the correct diagnosis is important. Only the treating doctor can be the true judge if hysterectomy is suitable for the patient or not.
