A vaginal hysterectomy is a procedure in which the uterus is removed through the vaginal route, without a large abdominal incision. The safest approach depends on the diagnosis, uterus size, pelvic anatomy, previous surgery and overall health.
These conditions do not automatically require hysterectomy. The decision follows examination, diagnosis and discussion of suitable alternatives.
