Gynaecological surgeries
The indication is stated in writing along with the alternatives, because not every fibroid or cyst needs removing.

Gynaecological surgery: the indication stated, the alternatives set out
Not every fibroid or cyst needs removing, and not every heavy period needs a hysterectomy. At Sradha Women Care the reason for surgery is stated in writing along with the alternatives, because an operation you understand is one you can consent to properly. Where surgery is indicated, it is performed by Dr. Sradhanjali at a partner hospital, by the route best suited to your case.
Deciding whether to operate
Surgery is offered when a problem is causing symptoms, growing, threatening fertility or raising concern on imaging — and when medical treatment has not worked or is not appropriate. Watchful waiting is a legitimate choice for many findings and is offered as one.
Second opinions welcomed
If surgery has been advised elsewhere, bring your scans and reports. A second read of the indication — and the alternatives — is a normal part of good practice.
Fertility weighed first
In myomectomy and ovarian surgery, the effect on future fertility is considered before the surgical plan is settled, and the technique chosen to preserve it.
Procedures performed
By laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, vaginal or open route — chosen on size, site and previous surgery, not on habit.
Hysterectomy
Where genuinely indicated — for fibroids, adenomyosis, prolapse or bleeding that has not responded — laparoscopic, vaginal or abdominal, with ovaries conserved unless there is a reason not to.
Myomectomy and ovarian surgery
Removal of fibroids with repair of the uterine wall; ovarian cystectomy preserving healthy tissue; surgery for endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy.
Pelvic floor and other procedures
Problems that affect daily life — prolapse, bladder control — are surgical when conservative measures have not helped.
Prolapse repair
Vaginal or laparoscopic repair for uterine or vaginal prolapse affecting comfort, bladder or bowel function, after pelvic floor therapy has been tried where appropriate.
Cervical and vulval procedures
Cervical biopsy and treatment of abnormal smears, and minor vulval and vaginal procedures, many as day care.
In summary
Before and after
You will know the indication, the route, the expected stay, the recovery and the estimated cost before you agree to anything. Follow-up is at the clinic with the surgeon who operated, and the discharge summary records exactly what was done.
