Hysterectomy is an operation that by its very nature causes a final chapter in a woman’s reproductive life. As a result of this there are a number of alternative forms of treatment, mostly surgical, which have been developed.
If women are interested in any of the alternatives that are avialable they should contact their doctor or gynaecologist for a discussion about the viability in their particular case.
