Most women would have a hysterectomy again!
When asked ‘If you had to make the choice again, would you still have a hysterectomy?’ over 84% of patients said YES.
The information needs of hysterectomy patients
The Patients Charter enshrines the right to receive information about any health conditions and medical procedures that are proposed. This should include information on any risks associated with the treatment and any alternatives available. It also requires that healthcare professionals ensure that it is all clearly explained before the treatment takes place.
