Early detection is vital to effective breast health management. Our team educates women on recognizing signs of concern and seeking prompt medical attention. Additionally, we guide lifestyle factors that contribute to breast health, empowering women to adopt preventive measures.

Hysterectomies

A hysterectomy is a significant surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus. Since it is an irreversible procedure, a hysterectomy is usually recommended only when other treatment options have not been successful.

The procedure may be considered a total hysterectomy when the entire uterus, including the cervix, is removed. During a subtotal or partial hysterectomy, the cervix is left intact while a part of the uterus is removed.

Indications for a hysterectomy can include:

  • Uterine Fibroids: These are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, or other symptoms.
  • Endometriosis: This occurs when the tissue lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing pain and fertility issues.
  • Uterine Cancer: Removal of the uterus may be recommended for cancer treatment.
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pelvic pain that doesn't respond to other treatments.
  • Uterine Prolapse: When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened supporting tissues.
  • Abnormal Bleeding: Chronic and uncontrollable uterine bleeding.

Deciding on a hysterectomy is a significant and often complex decision. Our team offers patients a comprehensive overview of hysterectomy procedures, detailing the types, techniques, and considerations involved.

  • Fallopian tube removal
  • Ovarian cyst removal
  • Repairing the vaginal wall
  • Pelvic floor procedures
