Frequently Asked Questions
NDVH is best suited for women with a relatively mobile uterus of moderate size, previous vaginal delivery, and no severe adhesions or suspected malignancy. Your doctor will assess suitability after examination and ultrasound.
In prolapse hysterectomy, the uterus has already descended and is easily accessible vaginally. In NDVH, the uterus is in its normal position — requiring advanced surgical skill to safely deliver and remove it through the vagina.
Mild to moderate pelvic discomfort for a few days is expected and managed with oral pain relief. Most patients find it significantly less painful than open abdominal hysterectomy.
Moderately enlarged uteri (up to 12–14 weeks size) can often be safely managed with vaginal morcellation. Very large uteri may be better managed with TLH.
Most women return to desk work within 7–10 days. Physical or heavy work should be avoided for 4–6 weeks.
