Understanding Panhysterectomy: Procedure, Recovery, and Side Effects

Panhysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and both ovaries. It is usually performed through an incision in the abdomen, but can also be done laparoscopically (through small incisions in the abdomen). The procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as:

* Uterine fibroids
* Adenomyosis
* Endometriosis
* Heavy menstrual bleeding
* Chronic pelvic pain

After a panhysterectomy, women will no longer have periods and will not be able to become pregnant. They may experience some temporary side effects such as pain, discomfort, and vaginal discharge. It is important for women to follow their doctor's instructions for recovery and to attend follow-up appointments to ensure that the surgery was successful and to monitor for any complications.
