Hysterectomy—the surgical removal of the uterus—is a big decision. Although it isn’t usually the first treatment approach, for some women, it becomes the best one.
At Modern OBGYN Care, our renowned team, led by board-certified OB/GYNs Dr. Miguel Torres and Dr. Marcela Torres, gives our patients the full spectrum of pelvic pain treatment options and customizes a unique plan that meets each woman's needs. Should they recommend a hysterectomy, they will have strong reasons to support that decision. Their goal is always your health, wellness, and quality of life for the long term. Read on to learn the signs that it might be time to think about a hysterectomy.
If your pain occurs with every period and lasts the majority of each period, it's highly intrusive. For many women, pelvic pain prevents them from enjoying quality time with loved ones. It may keep you away from work, school, social activities, and all the things that matter the most to you.
Any disruption in these areas is too much, and you deserve better. In this situation, it might be time to think about an aggressive treatment approach like hysterectomy.
The first-line treatment approaches for chronic pelvic pain can vary with the underlying problem. Whether it's fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, or something else, there are treatment options ranging from medication to lifestyle changes to minimally invasive procedures.
But, if you've tried those more conservative methods and they aren't giving you significant relief, our team may recommend a hysterectomy.
When you hurt all the time, it affects every area of your life, including your mental wellness. According to the American Psychiatric Association, up to 45% of people with chronic pain also struggle with their mental health.
If you feel depressed, exhausted, or anxious because of your condition, addressing the root cause can bring major relief, setting you free both physically and mentally. In some cases, a hysterectomy is the best way to do that.
A hysterectomy brings a permanent end to your fertility. It's important to understand this and weigh the benefits of the surgery against the potential drawback of being unable to conceive in the future. Our team discusses your feelings about this with you in detail as part of the decision-making process.
At Modern OBGYN Care, you’re never alone in making this decision. Our doctors take the time to listen, explain all your options, and ensure you feel in control of your care. With their advanced training in minimally invasive surgery, many women experience shorter recovery times and less post-op discomfort.
Our doctors don’t recommend surgery lightly—but when it’s the right choice, they’re with you every step of the way.
You deserve a life without pain. If chronic pelvic pain is holding you back, reach out online or call 754-217-4181 to learn more about hysterectomy now.
