Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, performed for conditions like fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, or uterine prolapse. It can be done through open, laparoscopic, or vaginal approaches.
The cost varies based on the surgical approach and whether additional procedures like removal of ovaries are needed. Laparoscopic hysterectomy costs more but offers smaller scars, less pain, and faster recovery.
