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.
