Vaginal Hysterectomy with Pelvic Repair in Windhoek

About this service

Vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic repair in Windhoek combines removal of the uterus through the vagina with repair of the vaginal walls, often used when there is prolapse alongside conditions such as heavy periods or fibroids. Treating both issues in one operation can address the uterine problem while also restoring pelvic support and relieving prolapse symptoms such as bulging or pressure. Your doctor will assess your anatomy and symptoms to plan the right combination of procedures.

Eastgate Clinic performs this surgery in our on-site day theatre. If you have questions about vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic repair in Windhoek, our team at Eastgate Clinic is happy to talk you through what to expect and how to prepare.
