Keyhole uterus removal for the women who genuinely need it — and an honest second opinion for the many who don’t.
Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, most often for large fibroids, heavy bleeding unresponsive to other treatment, severe prolapse, adenomyosis or certain pre-cancerous conditions. Done for the right reason, it is life-changing surgery. Done for the wrong reason, it is an operation a woman never needed — which is why our gynaecologists first exhaust uterus-preserving options and openly welcome second-opinion consultations.

Evaluation includes pelvic examination, ultrasound (in-house), blood counts and where needed hysteroscopy or endometrial sampling — establishing precisely why the bleeding or pain is happening. The diagnosis decides the treatment; hysterectomy is one option on the list, not the starting point.
Depending on the cause: hormonal treatment, medicated IUS devices, fibroid-shrinking medication, or minor procedures like hysteroscopic polyp/fibroid removal can control symptoms while preserving the uterus — especially important for women who may want children. We offer all of these first, where appropriate.
When hysterectomy is genuinely indicated, we perform it laparoscopically (TLH) in most cases — 3–4 keyhole incisions, less pain, 1–2 day stay and return to routine in about two weeks, compared to six after open surgery. Whether ovaries are preserved is discussed individually — for most pre-menopausal women they are retained to avoid sudden menopause.
We recommend surgery only when it is genuinely the best option for you — and explain why, in plain language, before you decide.
Keyhole surgery; walking the same evening; discharge in 1–2 days.
Light routine at home; desk work often possible.
Most household and office routine resumes.
Full activity; internal healing confirmed at follow-up.
Timelines are typical for uncomplicated cases — your surgeon will give you a personalised plan.
The final cost depends on the technique used, the complexity of your case, the type of room you choose and your length of stay. After your consultation you receive a clear, itemised estimate — before you decide anything.
Bring your policy details or insurance card and our front-desk team will help you with the paperwork and coordination with your insurer from admission through discharge.
Bawa Hospital in Ludhiana treats patients from across Punjab — including Chandigarh, Mohali, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala, Bathinda, Moga and Khanna — as well as Delhi NCR, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.
For outstation patients we plan the consultation, pre-operative tests and surgery to minimise trips — often completed in a single visit, with follow-up support on WhatsApp.
A fair question — and sometimes the answer is no. Heavy bleeding and small fibroids often respond to medication, hormonal IUS or smaller procedures. Bring your reports for a frank assessment; if uterus-preserving treatment can work for you, we will say so.
The uterus itself makes no hormones — periods stop, but menopause does not arrive early if the ovaries are preserved, which is our default in pre-menopausal women unless there is a specific reason otherwise.
For recovery, considerably: keyhole hysterectomy means less pain, a shorter stay and return to routine in about half the time. Open surgery is reserved for very large uteri or specific situations.
After full healing (6–8 weeks), most women report intimacy unchanged — and often improved, freed from bleeding and pain. We discuss any individual concerns openly before surgery.
Desk work often resumes within 2 weeks after laparoscopic hysterectomy; physically demanding work takes 4–6 weeks. Your team will personalise this.
