There are several medical conditions that may necessitate an abdominal hysterectomy. These include:
Uterine fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain and heavy bleeding. Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and irregular bleeding. Uterine prolapse: When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Chronic pelvic pain: Persistent pain in the pelvic region that has not responded to other treatments. Cancer: Including uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer.
