For some women, undergoing hysterectomy may be the best option to treat endometriosis.
This option is often chosen when women have undergone a number of previous
procedures and have additional abnormalities present such as fibroids,
troublesome heavy bleeding or adenomyosis.
Every effort is made to preserve the ovaries
when hysterectomy is performed for women before the menopause.
It is important to bear in mind that 10% of women will require
further surgery to remove one or both ovaries at a later time.
Most women who request hysterectomy are able to have the
procedure performed by laparoscopy which minimizes time in hospital
and off work.
