Think Before You Remove: Why a Second Opinion Matters
Hysterectomy—the surgical removal of the uterus—is one of the most commonly recommended surgeries for women in India today. While it can be life-saving or truly necessary in some situations, many women undergo hysterectomy without exploring safer, non-surgical alternatives that can manage their symptoms effectively.
At our Second Opinion Clinic for Hysterectomy, we’re here to help you make an informed decision about your health—with compassion, clarity, and the latest medical insights.
Recent data shows a growing number of women, even as young as in their 30s, are being advised hysterectomy for conditions that may have been managed conservatively. This rising trend raises concerns about whether every hysterectomy is truly necessary.
A hysterectomy is a permanent procedure—it ends menstruation and fertility. It may also affect your hormonal balance and emotional well-being. That’s why it’s essential to understand:
- Why it has been advised
- Whether it’s the only option
- What other safe and effective treatments exist
There are multiple uterus-sparing options available today, many of which are minimally invasive and offer excellent results.
For conditions like heavy periods or early-stage adenomyosis, medical management may be all you need. These include:
- Hormonal pills (like progesterone or oral contraceptives)
- Non-hormonal options (like tranexamic acid or NSAIDs)
