Discover How Our Specialists Assist in Uterus Removal Surgery at Janisthaa

Uterus removal surgery, medically called a hysterectomy, is an operation to remove the uterus (womb). It is advised for conditions such as fibroids, heavy bleeding that does not improve with medicines, adenomyosis, severe endometriosis, uterine prolapse and some cancers. At Janisthaa’s Basaveshwaranagar hospital, Dr Shwetha Y Baratikkae and our gynaecology surgeons perform laparoscopic, vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy, choosing the safest approach for each woman. Most women having laparoscopic surgery go home within 1–2 days and return to light work in about 2 weeks. After a hysterectomy, periods stop and pregnancy is no longer possible.

What Is Uterus Removal Surgery?

A hysterectomy removes the uterus, and sometimes the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries as well, depending on the reason for surgery. It is one of the most common gynaecological operations performed worldwide. With modern keyhole (laparoscopic) techniques, it is now a planned and safe procedure with a much quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.

Types of hysterectomy based on what is removed

TypeWhat is removedWhen it’s used
Total hysterectomyUterus + cervixMost common type
Subtotal (partial) hysterectomyUterus only; cervix is keptSelected benign conditions
Hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomyUterus + fallopian tubes + one or both ovariesEndometriosis, ovarian disease, cancer risk
Radical hysterectomyUterus, cervix, upper vagina and nearby tissueCertain gynaecological cancers

When Is Uterus Removal Surgery Needed?

A hysterectomy is usually recommended only after other treatments have been tried or are not suitable. Common reasons include:

  • Uterine fibroids causing heavy periods, pain, pressure or anaemia
  • Heavy or abnormal uterine bleeding that does not respond to medicines or minor procedures
  • Adenomyosis: painful, heavy periods caused by the uterine lining growing into the uterine wall
  • Severe endometriosis that has not improved with other treatment
  • Uterine prolapse: the uterus slipping down into the vagina
  • Chronic pelvic pain linked to the uterus
  • Precancerous changes or cancer of the uterus, cervix or ovaries

Before recommending surgery, Dr Shwetha reviews your symptoms, ultrasound findings and age, and whether you want a future pregnancy. If you still wish to conceive, uterus-preserving options are discussed first.

Types of Hysterectomy Surgery at Janisthaa

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Keyhole Surgery)


The uterus is removed through 3–4 small cuts of 0.5–1 cm, using a camera and fine instruments. There is less pain, minimal scarring and a faster return to normal life. This is the most commonly chosen approach at Janisthaa.

Vaginal Hysterectomy


The uterus is removed through the vagina, with no cut on the abdomen. It is often suitable for women with uterine prolapse or a normal-sized uterus. Recovery is similar to laparoscopic surgery.

Abdominal (Open) Hysterectomy


The uterus is removed through a 10–15 cm cut in the lower abdomen. It may be needed for a very large uterus, large fibroids, extensive scar tissue from previous surgeries, or some cancers. Recovery takes longer.

Uterus Removal Surgery Recovery Time

Surgery duration: 1–3 hours, depending on the approach and the complexity of the case.

Recovery stageLaparoscopicVaginalAbdominal
Walking after surgerySame day or next morningSame day or next morningDay 1–2
Hospital stay1–2 days1–2 days3–4 days
Light household activity1–2 weeks1–2 weeks3–4 weeks
Back to desk work2–3 weeks2–3 weeks6 weeks
Full recovery3–4 weeks3–4 weeks6–8 weeks

Recovery week by week (laparoscopic hysterectomy)

  • Days 1–2: Walking starts within hours. Mild pain is controlled with medicines. Discharge on day 1 or 2.
  • Week 1: Rest at home with short walks several times a day. Some tiredness and light spotting are normal.
  • Weeks 2–3: Energy improves. Most women return to desk work and light chores.
  • Weeks 4–6: Most daily activities are back to normal. The internal healing check is done at your follow-up visit.
  • After 6 weeks: Heavier activities, exercise and intercourse can usually resume once the doctor confirms healing.

Tips for a faster recovery

  • Walk a little every few hours from the first day.
  • Drink plenty of water and eat high-fibre food to avoid constipation.
  • Take your prescribed medicines on time.
  • Avoid lifting anything heavier than 5 kg for 6 weeks.
  • Keep the wounds clean and dry.
  • Attend your follow-up visit at [1 and 6] weeks.

FAQ

Uterus removal surgery is called a hysterectomy. It removes the uterus, and sometimes the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries, to treat conditions such as fibroids, heavy bleeding, adenomyosis, prolapse or cancer.

Laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy is usually the best option when suitable, because both offer less pain, a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery. Abdominal surgery is used for a very large uterus, dense adhesions or some cancers.

At Janisthaa, laparoscopic hysterectomy costs about ₹[ ] – ₹[ ], including the surgeon’s fee, anaesthesia, OT and [ ] days of hospital stay. A written estimate is shared before surgery, and most health insurance plans cover it.

Full recovery takes about 3–4 weeks after laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy and 6–8 weeks after abdominal surgery. Most women walk the same day and go home within 1–2 days after keyhole surgery.

Most women rest at home for about 2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery and 4–6 weeks after open surgery. Avoid lifting more than 5 kg for 6 weeks. Gentle walking every day is encouraged.

Short-term effects include mild pain, light bleeding for a few weeks, tiredness and constipation. Periods stop permanently. If both ovaries are removed, menopause symptoms such as hot flushes may start immediately.

Only if both ovaries are removed. If your ovaries are kept, they continue producing hormones, although menopause may come slightly earlier for some women.

The operation usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on the surgical approach, uterus size and whether the ovaries or tubes are also removed.

Often, yes. Options such as myomectomy, hysteroscopic removal or hormonal treatment can control symptoms while keeping the uterus, especially if you want a future pregnancy.

Desk jobs can usually be resumed after 2–3 weeks following laparoscopic surgery and after about 6 weeks following abdominal surgery. Physically demanding jobs may need 6–8 weeks.
