Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about gynecological surgeries

The need for gynecological surgery is determined based on your specific condition, symptoms, and the results of diagnostic tests. Common indications include persistent pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic organ prolapse, and certain gynecological cancers. Your gynecologist will discuss whether surgery is necessary after a thorough evaluation and may recommend trying non-surgical treatments first when appropriate.

Open surgery involves making a larger incision to access the surgical site, while minimally invasive surgery (such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy) uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments. Minimally invasive approaches typically result in less pain, smaller scars, reduced risk of infection, less blood loss, and faster recovery times. However, not all procedures can be performed minimally invasively. The most appropriate approach depends on your specific condition, previous surgeries, and other factors that your surgeon will discuss with you.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, surgical approach, your overall health, and how well you follow post-operative instructions. Generally, minimally invasive procedures have shorter recovery times (1-2 weeks) compared to open surgeries (4-6 weeks). For major surgeries like hysterectomy, full recovery may take 6-8 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines regarding when you can resume normal activities, return to work, and engage in exercise or sexual activity.

The impact on fertility depends on the type of surgery and the structures involved. Some procedures, like hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), will eliminate the possibility of pregnancy. Others, like myomectomy (fibroid removal) or ovarian cystectomy (ovarian cyst removal), are designed to preserve fertility. If you're concerned about future fertility, discuss this with your surgeon before the procedure. In some cases, fertility preservation options may be available, or alternative treatments might be considered.

Like all surgeries, gynecological procedures carry certain risks, including infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, damage to surrounding organs, and post-operative pain. Specific procedures may have additional risks. However, serious complications are relatively rare, and our surgical team takes extensive precautions to minimize these risks. Before your surgery, your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits specific to your procedure, allowing you to make an informed decision.
