Have you ever been told by your gynecologist that you need special treatment or surgery that could change your life? Have you ever been told by your physician that a simple procedure could help you live a healthier and longer life? You probably took those suggestions as a joke.

You probably never thought that you would ever need surgery or any procedure in your life just to help you become more active or live longer. But life isn’t perfect. You don’t know what your future holds. Let’s talk about a few common surgeries that as a woman you might have to consider maybe a few years from now:

  • Appendectomy

Appendectomy is a very common procedure that is performed on several women across the globe. It is the removal of your appendix. The surgeon is going to use a laparoscope or a standard open technique to perform this surgery. The appendix is a rather small and hollow pouch that is attached to your large intestine.

 

A lot of factors can cause your appendix to get inflamed. An obstruction can cause the opening of the appendix to get blocked. This could lead to a dangerous bacterial infection which is called appendicitis. If you want to live a healthy and long life, this is a surgery you should opt for immediately whenever you notice any symptoms related to appendicitis.

  • Cholecystectomy

Cholecystectomy is gallbladder removal. When you have any disease or infection in your gallbladder or for any reason if this organ becomes damaged, cholecystectomy is what your gynecologist is going to recommend. This damage can be caused by an infection or internal inflammation or due to gallstones or maybe crystallization of bile that can occur in several women.

 

Sometimes the blockage can be very severe and the gallbladder along with the liver can get damaged very easily. This procedure is also performed as laparoscopic surgery. Your surgeon may decide to perform open surgery as per your particular condition.

  • Hymenectomy

Hymenectomy is also referred to as hymenotomy by several surgeons. This procedure is often performed when a woman has an abnormally thick hymen that obstructs her menstrual flow.

 

A typical hymenectomy procedure can be performed to alleviate this pain and discomfort. There can be several reasons for your hymen to become septate such as:

 

  • If you are born with a strong hymen that is not easily broken
  • When the hymen is unusually coarse or thick
  • In the case of a micro-perforated hymen
  • A congenital condition that causes imperforate hymen

  • Repair Of Your Hernia

Hernia repair is also a very popular surgery that is very common among women. A hernia gets formed when your abdominal wall gets weak. This condition results in bulges and tears.

 

As a result, the inner line of your abdomen may become very frail and your small intestine can poke out of that area. The surgeon is going to repair your abdominal wall and push the abdominal material back to where it belongs. 

 

Final Thoughts

These surgical procedures are not meant to scare you in any way. They are performed to simplify your life and make your health better. If you have any symptoms or probably any difficulties, especially related to your hygiene, it is always better to consult your gynecologist before the condition gets worse.
