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.
