Hysterectomy Services In Fort Lauderdale

A hysterectomy removes the uterus to treat fibroids, endometriosis, pain, bleeding, or cancer. Types: total (uterus and cervix), partial (uterus only), radical (uterus, cervix, part of vagina and tissues). Recovery needs weeks of rest, no heavy lifting. Consult your gynecologist about risks and options. Dr. Marielena Guerra’s practice offers a holistic, personalized approach.

Understanding Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgical operation involving the removal of the uterus. It is typically advised when alternative treatments have failed to effectively address conditions such as:

  • Uterine fibroids causing pain or heavy bleeding

  • Endometriosis or adenomyosis

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Abnormal bleeding not controlled by medication

  • Certain types of cancer or precancerous changes

Our goal is to provide clarity and guidance so you can make an informed decision about your health.
