Hi XXXXXXX,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your scan reports say that you have a uterine fibroids which are symptomatic, hence the removal/hysterectomy may be necessary. Your treating doctor will be the best person to take that decision.
The description of uterus as mentioned above suggests it can be removed by either way laproscopy/ vaginally (downward passage).
Your age is less than 45 years and your ovaries are normal so they need not be removed.
Hope this information helps you. Please revert back if you have additional concerns.
Best wishes,

thank you very much.
One of the doctors whom i have consulted for second opinion said that it is very strong and it is difficult to remove thr'vagina.
But i have confidence that i can bear it.If it is done like that ,it will be better for working women like me in future.Pleas advise whether it is risky.
I am working in a bank.

Hi, and thanks again,
I understand your apprehension regarding abdominal laparoscopic surgery.
1. Whether hysterectomy is done vaginally or laparoscopically, recovery is good in both cases.
2. Regarding risk, every surgery has its own risk; no surgery is without risk. However in the hands of experienced and well trained professional, you should be fine and no problems post surgery - be it laparoscopic or vaginal.
You should consult with your doctor about laparoscopy/ vaginal hysterectomy, their pros, cons, risks etc. You can also read patient information leaflet from UK for these operations details. This might help you to take an informed decision.
As per my opinion, both the surgeries suit you. Do discuss with your gynecologist.
Hope this answers your query. If all your queries are answered please close this discussion. Yet, if you have any more queries, feel free to post them to me. I will be glad to assist you further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery.
