What is "Hysterectomy Vaginal"
A Hysterectomy Vaginal is when the vagina is stretched
and kept open by special instruments. There are no
external incisions made. There is however an internal
incision at the top of the vagina around the cervix.
The uterus and cervix are then cut from their supporting
ligaments and surrounding tissue, and then the connecting
blood vessels are tied off.
The uterus and cervix are then removed through the
vagina, which is then closed to prevent infection
and to keep the intestines from dropping downward.
Looking at Hysterectomy Vaginal
Options...
When a doctor and patient decide to look at hysterectomy
options, it is likely a vaginal hysterectomy will
be the choice for the person considering a hysterectomy
if they are given a choice. There are several reasons
a patient would rather have the vaginal hysterectomy
instead of the abdominal hysterectomy. Following are
the top three reasons:
• The vaginal hysterectomy
is easier to recover from post-surgery. Abdominal
hysterectomies can be more difficult even though the
incision is small compared to what one might expect.
The recovery is similar to the c-section recovery
though and this is one of the reasons the vaginal
hysterectomy is the preferred choice in women who
have the hysterectomies. Abdominal hysterectomies
can be very painful to overcome in the first couple
of days following the surgery.
• Even though the procedure might seem more
traumatic for women during surgery, with this procedure,
going home within 12 hours of the surgery is a viable
and probable occurrence.
• The scars are unnoticed.
A vaginal hysterectomy seems less invasive to the
girls who like the bikini wear in the summer time.
If you are concerned with scarring, then a hysterectomy
performed abdominally will likely scare you too death
because you will have a scar and even when the healing
process begins, it still will be noticed to a certain
extent. Obviously, a hysterectomy procedure will appeal
more to the younger women who have to have the hysterectomy
performed.
If a woman requires a more extensive hysterectomy,
then the total hysterectomy will be her only option.
However, a vaginal hysterectomy is something women
should discuss with their doctor before taking anything
else into consideration. It can be easier to recover
from and the pain following the surgery is nothing
like what you will experience from an abdominal surgery.
