Hysterectomy Alternatives

Hysterectomy alternatives is what first comes to mind when the initial shock starts wearing off. You may want to investigate into several different directions at once:

1) Instead of classical hysterectomy, is there any other kind of hysterectomy that might suit you better? In particular, if it needs to be hysterectomy after all, is there a less invasive variant of hysterectomy? For instance, vaginal laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Or, they may be a classical surgical procedure that eliminates the need for hysterectomy, such as abdominal myomectomy.

2) Is there another kind of surgery that might override the need for hysterectomy? If it can be a minimally invasive type of surgery, with short hospital stay and rapid recovery aftermath, so much the better. In this hysterectomy scenario, you trade one cumbersome surgery for another.

Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures may fit the bill here perfectly, ditto for the many types of endometrial ablation.

3) Finally, how about healing yourself without any kind of surgery at all? This is what this site is all about.
