Appointment Form

A total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus, including the cervix. It’s a major decision, and at Parvathi Hospital, we understand the physical and emotional considerations women face. Our team of experienced gynecological surgeons provides comprehensive care and support throughout the entire process, from pre-operative consultations to post-surgical recovery. 

Why Choose TAH?

TAH may be recommended for various reasons, including: 

  • Uterine fibroids: These are benign tumors in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and other problems.
  • Endometriosis: Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain and menstrual irregularities.
  • Adenomyosis: Uterine lining tissue grows within the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to heavy bleeding and pain.
  • Uterine cancer: In some cases, TAH may be necessary to remove cancerous tissue in the uterus.
  • Severe pelvic prolapse: When the uterus weakens and drops into the vagina, TAH can be a treatment option.

What to Expect During TAH

  • Pre-operative Consultation: Our team will thoroughly discuss your medical history, the reasons for TAH, and answer any questions you may have. We'll also perform a physical examination and may recommend additional tests.
  • Surgical Procedure: TAH is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen to access and remove the uterus. In some cases, depending on the reason for the surgery, the ovaries and fallopian tubes may also be removed. The incision is then closed with sutures or staples.
  • Post-operative Recovery: After surgery, you'll stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring and pain management. Recovery typically takes several weeks, and our team will provide detailed instructions on caring for yourself at home.

Benefits of TAH

  • Experienced Surgeons: Our team is highly skilled in performing TAH and utilizes minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimize scarring and expedite recovery.
  • Comprehensive Care: We offer a personalized approach, addressing not only the physical aspects of surgery but also the emotional well-being of our patients.
  • Advanced Pain Management: We are committed to minimizing post-surgical pain and offer a variety of pain management techniques.
  • Support Services: Our dedicated nurses and support staff provide guidance and assistance throughout your recovery journey.

FAQ's

Depending on the reason for the surgery, alternative procedures may be available. These might include minimally invasive surgeries like laparoscopic hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy, or non-surgical options like uterine artery embolization. Our doctors will discuss all options with you to determine the most suitable approach for your specific needs. 

No, since TAH removes the uterus, pregnancy is not possible. However, if you're considering future pregnancy, discuss family planning options with your doctor before surgery. 

After TAH, you will no longer have periods and can no longer become pregnant. There may also be changes in hormone levels, which can be managed through hormone replacement therapy if necessary. Most women experience a significant improvement in their quality of life after TAH by eliminating symptoms like pain and heavy bleeding.
