My wife's been having some back pain and issues with her uterus for about a year now, she's 40. A few gynaecologists suggested we need to go for a surgery to remove the uterus. I'm just trying to understand, how much does this operation usually cost, and are there any side effects we should be aware of after the surgery? Could you give me some advice on this?

Dear Kumar, removing the uterus (hysterectomy) is a common and generally safe procedure when necessary. The cost can vary based on the hospital and type of surgery but is typically between 50,000-1,50,000. Side effects may include temporary pain, hormonal changes if ovaries are removed, and recovery time of about 4-6 weeks. Please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and options.

View allHad abdominal myomectomy surgery for uterine fibroids and endometriosis cysts 30 days ago but still having incision pain. Is it normal to feel this much discomfort after a month? Can I start doing household chores like sweeping or sitting for long periods? My in-laws are orthodox so follow-up visits are tough
It's not uncommon to experience some incision pain for a month after an abdominal myomectomy, but if the pain is severe or persistent, it's important to contact your doctor

I've been going through something a bit strange lately and just wanted to ask for some advice. So, I've been feeling this odd sensation in my vagina for the last few days. Initially, it was really itchy and I thought it might be a rash, but there wasn't any. And I know I don't have any STIs, so I figured maybe I had a yeast infection because, honestly, my hygiene hasn't been top-notch recently. But now the itching has stopped, which is good, but it still feels like there's something in there. It doesn't hurt or burn, and there's no bad smell or weird discharge, which is a bit confusing. It's not really affecting my daily life, but I'm kind of curious and a little worried about what it might be. Could this still be a yeast infection or do you think it's something else?

I have a 6.5 cm x 4.5 cm ovarian cyst and my CA125 level is 48. My gynecologist prescribed Ovral, which I think is a contraceptive pill. I'm wondering if birth control pills can actually cure ovarian cysts and if taking them for 21 days is the best option or if I should consider surgery instead.
Yes, minimally invasive surgery is generally a good option. It usually results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. However, final decision depends on imaging findings, symptoms, and your overall health—please consult your gynecologist.
