What is Uterine Prolapse Vaginal Hysterectomy ?
Uterine Prolapse Occurs when the uterus descends or slips into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. In cases where uterine prolapse is severe and non-surgical treatments are ineffective, a vaginal hysterectomy may be performed to remove the uterus through the vaginal canal. This procedure helps alleviate symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and vaginal bulging. At Nividh Hospital , we offer expert care for uterine prolapse, helping patients restore pelvic health and improve their quality of life.
Why is Uterine Prolapse Vaginal Hysterectomy Performed?
Uterine prolapse vaginal hysterectomy is often recommended for women experiencing :
- Severe Uterine Prolapse : When the uterus has descended into the vaginal canal, causing significant discomfort or prolapse symptoms
- Chronic Pelvic Pressure : Persistent feelings of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area that interfere with daily activities
- Urinary Incontinence : Difficulty controlling urine or frequent urinary urgency due to prolapse
- Vaginal Bulging or Falling : Sensation of something falling out or bulging from the vagina
- Failure of Non-Surgical Treatments : When conservative treatments such as pelvic floor exercises, pessaries, or medications fail to improve symptoms
- Desire to Avoid Future Prolapse Issues : When a woman wishes to prevent further complications of prolapse in the future
The Uterine Prolapse Vaginal Hysterectomy Procedure
1. Pre-Operative Preparation :
- Patients will undergo a thorough evaluation, including pelvic exams, imaging studies (like ultrasound), and lab tests to assess the severity of prolapse and overall health
- Pre-surgical counseling will explain the procedure, risks, benefits, and post-operative care
2. Anesthesia :
- The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, but regional anesthesia may be used in some cases, depending on the patient's health and preferences
3. Surgical Process :
- The surgeon accesses the uterus through the vaginal canal and carefully removes the uterus, along with any other necessary tissues or structures, such as the cervix
- The procedure is performed with precision to restore the pelvic floor and support the surrounding organs
4. Post-Operative Care :
- Patients are monitored in the hospital for a short period to ensure a smooth recovery
- Pain management is provided, with most patients experiencing mild discomfort that resolves within a few days
- The hospital stay is usually brief, often lasting 1-2 days
