Overview
What to expect from Hysterectomy
When conditions like large fibroids, adenomyosis, or persistent abnormal bleeding don't respond to other treatments, hysterectomy may be recommended. MedVocs' gynaecologists perform laparoscopic hysterectomy in most eligible cases, avoiding the larger incision required in open surgery.
Every recommendation follows a thorough discussion of your condition, alternatives, and long-term implications, so you can make an informed decision alongside your gynaecologist.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Fast for 6–8 hours before the procedure as instructed, since it is done under general, spinal, or regional anaesthesia.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
Under general anaesthesia, a few small keyhole incisions are made instead of one large cut.
- 2
A laparoscope (thin camera) and fine instruments are inserted, showing a magnified view on a screen.
- 3
The surgeon carries out the repair or removal precisely through these small openings.
- 4
The tiny incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue, leaving minimal scarring.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are monitored on the ward during your 1–2 day stay so the care team can manage comfort and early recovery.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about 2–4 weeks, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
