Hysterectomy Surgery in Alwarpet, Chennai

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure for removing the uterus of a woman. Hysterectomy treatment in Chennai includes making an incision on the abdominal surface for removing the uterus. Various problems in the uterus can necessitate this surgery, after which a patient cannot be pregnant.

What do we need to know about hysterectomy?   

A patient is made ready for hysterectomy after some blood and urine tests to analyze her physical condition. An intravenous channel is inserted in her hand, to supply the body with necessary fluids and medicines. Then the doctor administers general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia so that the patient does not feel any pain during this surgery. 

A hysterectomy specialist in Chennai makes an incision on her abdomen or vagina, as needed, according to her health status. The doctor examines the internal condition and then severs the uterus from the surrounding tissues and ligaments. It can be done with the help of a laparoscope or other latest medical instruments.

How do I prepare for hysterectomy?

How long do I need to stay at the hospital after hysterectomy?

Generally, patients need to stay at a hysterectomy hospital in Chembur for 1–2 days for observation. However, laparoscopic hysterectomy allows patients to return home on that day, just after spending a few hours or a night in the recovery room.
