Hysterectomy & Myomectomy
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually recommended for conditions like uncontrolled bleeding, fibroids, or certain cancers. A myomectomy, on the other hand, removes only uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, making it suitable for women who still wish to have children. At DoctorsVibe, we highlight that both procedures are safe when performed under expert care. The choice between hysterectomy and myomectomy depends on age, symptoms, fertility plans, and overall health. With minimally invasive techniques available today, recovery is faster, pain is reduced, and long-term health outcomes are improved.
