Uterine Prolapse Operation in Gopalganj (Vaginal Hysterectomy with Pelvic Floor Repair)

After fitness tests, our anaesthesia specialist usually gives spinal anaesthesia, so the lower body is numb. Dr. Thakur, our chief surgeon, removes the uterus through the vagina, with no cut on the abdomen. He then repairs and tightens the front and back walls of the vagina, which support the bladder and rectum, and supports the top of the vagina. We keep a urine catheter for 1 to 2 days and send the uterus for histopathology.

The operation usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Most women stay with us for 2 to 4 days. We keep a urine catheter, and sometimes a vaginal pack, for 1 to 2 days. Older women with diabetes, blood pressure or heart problems may need to stay a little longer so that we can monitor them. Our team will tell you what to expect after your fitness tests.

Yes, in some women. Mild prolapse can improve with pelvic floor exercises, weight control and treatment of cough and constipation. A pessary, a soft ring placed in the vagina, can hold the uterus up. It suits women who are not fit for surgery or do not want it, but it needs regular check-ups and cleaning. When prolapse is troublesome and the family is complete, VH + PFR is usually the standard treatment. We explain every option before any decision.

No. We do the whole operation through the vagina, so there is no cut on the abdomen. The stitches inside the vagina dissolve on their own over some weeks. Because the abdomen is not opened, most women can walk the next day, and recovery is often easier than after abdominal surgery. If a different approach is better in your case, Dr. Thakur will explain it to you.

Many women get good relief for many years, but in some women the vaginal walls can sag again over time. The risk is higher with heavy lifting, a long-standing cough, constipation and excess weight. Avoiding strain, treating cough and constipation, keeping a healthy weight and doing pelvic floor exercises all help. If your symptoms return, please come to us for a check-up.

Most women walk the next day and eat normally. Some discharge or light spotting for a few weeks is normal. Light household work can usually be resumed in a few weeks. For about 6 weeks, avoid heavy lifting, long squatting and straining, and avoid sexual intercourse. Full recovery depends on your age and health. The pelvic floor exercises we teach you at follow-up help keep the repair strong.

For about 6 weeks, please do not lift heavy weights, such as buckets of water, and avoid long squatting and straining. Eat home-cooked food with dal, vegetables, fruit and plenty of water to avoid constipation. Get any cough treated, keep the area clean and do your pelvic floor exercises. Please come back to us at once if you have heavy bleeding, fever, foul-smelling discharge or difficulty passing urine.

The cost depends on fitness tests such as blood tests, ECG and ECHO, treatment of any ulcer on the prolapse first, the type of anaesthesia, how much repair is needed, the number of days in hospital, the room you choose (private room or general ward), any need for ICU care, and medicines. We do not quote a fixed price without examining you. We give you a clear written estimate before admission.

As of mid-2025, gynaecology packages were not part of our Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY empanelment at Dr. R.K. Thakur Hospital, so prolapse surgery may not be covered under the scheme at our hospital. Empanelment can change, so please ask our Ayushman help desk for the current status before planning admission, and bring your Ayushman card and Aadhaar card. If the operation is not covered, we explain all costs clearly before admission.

Many women in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh use these words for uterine prolapse. 'Bachedani' means the uterus, 'khisakna' means slipping down, and 'bahar aana' means coming out. So 'bachedani khisakne ka operation' is the vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair (VH + PFR) that we perform for this condition. It is a common problem, and you do not need to feel shy about asking us for help.
