Will a hysterectomy cure endometriosis?

Topic:Surgery
Affected areas:pelvicabdominalsystemic

Not necessarily. Endometriosis is defined by tissue growing outside the uterus, so removing the uterus alone doesn’t automatically remove endometriosis implants or the inflammation they can drive.


For patients who have both adenomyosis and endometriosis, symptom relief often depends on whether endometriosis is thoroughly identified and excised as part of the surgical plan—not just on whether a hysterectomy is performed. Our team focuses on careful evaluation and complete treatment planning, and we’re happy to discuss whether hysterectomy, excision, or a combined approach fits your symptoms and goals during a consultation.
