In the first place you need to know what hysterectomy operation is? It’s an operation done in order to remove the uterus. Hysterectomy is done in order to prevent excess bleeding and when the medications fail to stop this excess bleeding and when there is no other way to stop it.

Steps performed before the operation:
1. Endometrial biopsy and Pop smear tests are mandatory to conform that there is no cancer to the womb.
