Hysterectomy Alternatives

While sometimes hysterectomy is needed to treat problems such as uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding or abnormal bleeding, there are minimally invasive treatments available as alternatives to hysterectomy.  

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

Alternatives to hysterectomy allow the option to keep the uterus while treating the underlying problem.  With these procedures there is less surgical risk with quicker recovery and less hospital stay.  Not all physicians offer alternatives to hysterectomy because many of these procedures require additional training and advanced surgical skill.
