Frequently Asked Questions
After a hysterectomy, a woman will no longer have menstrual periods and cannot become pregnant. A total hysterectomy or total abdominal hysterectomy that also removes the ovaries may result in menopause-like hormonal changes, such as hot flashes and mood swings. Some women may experience a reduced sex drive, while others may feel relief from painful or heavy periods and enjoy improved overall health. At Continental Hospitals, our specialized gynecologists carefully guide patients through the post-surgery phase to manage hormonal and physical changes effectively.
Life after a hysterectomy surgery varies depending on the patient's overall health, the reason for the surgery, and whether the ovaries were removed. Many women feel relief from chronic pain or heavy bleeding, while others may need time to adjust to hormonal changes. The recovery process typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on the type of surgery (e.g., laparoscopic hysterectomy or abdominal hysterectomy). Patients can usually return to their regular activities after recovery. At Continental Hospitals, we provide detailed postoperative care to ensure a smooth recovery and emotional well-being.
Although there is no specific age limit for a hysterectomy, women who no longer wish to have children or who suffer from severe medical conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or cancer typically undergo it. Women in their 40s or older who are approaching menopause are common candidates. However, younger women with life-altering conditions may also be considered. Continental Hospitals offers personalized treatment plans based on the patient’s medical history and future reproductive goals.
The level of pain after a hysterectomy depends on the type of procedure. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy, result in less pain and faster recovery compared to an abdominal hysterectomy. Pain management is a key part of recovery, and patients typically experience discomfort for the first week or two. Our doctors at Continental Hospitals are experts in pain management and provide patients with medications and strategies to ensure a comfortable recovery process.
The cost of a hysterectomy can vary based on the type of procedure (e.g., laparoscopic hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, or abdominal hysterectomy), the hospital, and any additional treatments required. Continental Hospitals offers competitive pricing for hysterectomy surgeries with a focus on quality care, utilizing state-of-the-art surgical facilities and experienced surgeons.
A hysterectomy surgery typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether it is performed through the abdomen, vagina, or laparoscopic method. Minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomy may take less time compared to an abdominal hysterectomy. Our expert gynecologists at Continental Hospitals perform the surgery with precision and care, using advanced techniques to reduce operating time and improve recovery outcomes.
