A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a woman's uterus. In some cases, it may also involve the removal of the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, depending on the type of hysterectomy performed. This procedure is one of the most common gynaecological surgeries and is typically considered a last resort for treating certain medical conditions that affect the uterus or reproductive organs.
A myomectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove fibroids from the uterus. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterine wall and can vary in size and number. A myomectomy is typically considered for women who experience significant symptoms or complications due to their fibroids and wish to preserve their uterus for future fertility or other personal reasons.
