Q: Double womb hysterectomy

asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 19th, 2007

My mother is about to have a total hysterectomy of her double womb-due to several problems over the last year, since she found out she had two wombs.
She is having everything removed and her overies.
This is due to take place next month.
She is very scared about the operation suckers does not know what to expect due to the abnormality. I cannot find someone that has been through the same operation, or find much information about this procedure. Is it as straight foward as a normal hysterectomy??
Please could you tell me or advise me of the procedure, complications etc suckers needs to know as peace of mind of what to expect.

Many many thanks
concerned daughter

Yes, a double womb hysterectomy is as straight forward as a normal hysterectomy; your mother's double-womb uterus will be removed in a same way as normal uterus. Ovaries and oviducts will be removed because she is in menopause and doesn’t need her ovaries any more. The risks associated with this operation are the same as during any other abdominal operation. You can consult her doctor and ask more in-depth questions about the possible complications of the procedure.
