Anna Talukder Hysterectomy Surgery Recipient
An uterine prolapse or cervical prolapse is characterized by one or more body organs falling out of their normal position, often because supporting muscles or other tissues have become weakened.
Pelvic prolapses or a cervical prolapse in particular are not all that uncommon in women. Such a prolapse most often occurs after child-bearing years, though that is not always the case. Some women experience a prolapse of one degree or another upon giving multiple births. Young women for the most part don’t experience these problems, as the muscles and ligaments in their pelvic areas are firm and strong. Most of the women who experience such a prolapse experience only mild symptoms or none at all. In more pronounced cases, treatment of one kind or another will be necessary, with surgery sometimes being the treatment of choice or necessity.
The choice of treatment for Anna Talukder’s cervical prolapse was vaginal hysterectomy. Cervical prolapse may be treated by removing the uterus in a surgical procedure called hysterectomy. This may be done through an incision made in the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy) or through the abdomen (abdominal hysterectomy). Hysterectomy is major surgery, and removing the uterus means pregnancy is no longer possible.
Every month Touching Souls International provides two free hysterectomy surgeries for patients who are in great need for that.
