If you are facing a bleeding problem that has not responded to medications or other treatments, a hysterectomy—surgical removal of the uterus—may be the best option. There are two main types of hysterectomy surgeries: open surgery and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery. Each has its own advantages and considerations. Open Hysterectomy This involves a larger incision in the lower abdomen. It is generally recommended in complex cases such as large fibroids, extensive adhesions, or cancer. Recovery usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, and there may be more postoperative pain and visible scarring. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy In this advanced method, small incisions are made, and a camera and instruments are used to remove the uterus. This procedure has less blood loss, faster recovery (2 to 3 weeks), minimal scarring, and a shorter hospital stay. It is ideal for most non-cancerous conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy menstrual bleeding. Cost in India Open hysterectomy: ₹40,000 to ₹70,000 (depending on hospital, city, and complexity) Laparoscopic hysterectomy: ₹70,000 to ₹1,20,000 The cost may vary based on: Hospital type (government, private, or specialty) Room category (general, semi-private, private) Any additional medical conditions Which is Better? In most cases, laparoscopic hysterectomy is recommended due to its quicker recovery, lower risk of infection, and less pain. However, your gynecologist will decide the best option based on your medical condition, uterine size, previous surgeries, and overall health. |
