Hysterectomy Q&A

What is a hysterectomy?

Removal of the uterus via an incision in the abdomen or through the vagina. The abdominal incision can be horizontal or vertical. In the case of laparoscopy, multiple small incisions are made on the abdomen.

What are the risks of Hysterectomy?

The risk of the surgery includes the risk of infections, excess bleeding which may require blood transfusions, injury to the bowel, bladder, ureter, blood vessels and other internal structures, scar tissue, blood clots, and in rare cases death with infections of the incision being most common.

What are the long-term effects of a Hysterectomy?

Scar tissue formation, and sometimes chronic pain.

Do you lose weight after a hysterectomy?

No, not unless the uterus is massively enlarged from fibroids.

Today was my first day meeting him physically and I must say I was very impressed. He was very detailed with instructions, polite, respectful and I felt more than comfortable... I think the next seven months experience will be very good.

If I could give Dr. Anucha a Million Stars I would. My husband and I were incredibly lucky to find Dr. Anucha as our doctor. He is very professional & made us feel comfortable. He explained everything and answered all of our questions.

He is a great Doctor! He is intelligent, attentive, makes you feel comfortable, always has a smile. Staff is friendly.

Gracias por su amabilidad y buen atendimiento gracias Dr Anucha y gracias a su personal.

I recommend Dr. Anucha to everyone. He is a great doctor and cares about his patients. If you are pregnant, you get to see your baby every visit. The staff is wonderful and even remember your name when you walk in the building.
