About hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the womb (uterus). It is done for several different reasons, including heavy or painful periods, fibroids, endometriosis, a prolapse, or some cancers, and is usually considered when other treatments have not worked or are not suitable.

How we know this

NHS RTT data, July 2026.

Gynaecology as a whole, not hysterectomy alone.

Wait or Pay is independent and is not the NHS. We show the routes and let you choose. Nothing here is medical advice.

How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?

Your free dashboard compares all four paths for hysterectomy: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
