MYTHS OF A HYSTERECTOMY

1.I will put on weight and have an early menopause.

Mood changes, dry skin etc are a sign of menopause. Menopause occurs when both the ovaries are removed and the production of the hormones stop. In a hysterectomy only the uterus is removed. Here in Rashmi Hospital, we retain the ovaries even in post menopausal women.

2.Along recovery period with bed rest.

At Rashmi Hospital all women who undergo a laparoscopic hysterectomy are home the next day and back to work or all normal activities within a week to 10 days.

3.A hysterectomy is very painful.

As we perform only laparoscopic hysterectomy, the cuts are very small and not painful. You can walk by evening and eat normal food too.

4.I will have a huge ugly scar.

No, a laparoscopic hysterectomy is done through a few small incisions (a cuts) which heal very well.

5.Sex is not enjoyable.

On the contrary some women enjoy sex more because.

•     The fear of pregnancy is no longer there.
•     Any condition like a deep fibroid which was causing painful intercourse is eliminated.

6.I will have back pain.

This is again a sign of menopause when women do not take calcium. Since your ovaries are left intact you will not experience back pain.

WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AFTER A HYSTERECTOMY.

You will be relieved of your symptoms like heavy periods, painful periods etc.

The only change that you will see in your body is

•     You will no longer have your periods.
•     You will not be able to have a baby.
