Dr. Armity Simon keeps abreast of all new studies, innovative techniques and cutting-edge technologies. She has performed successful hysterectomy surgeries in Phoenix since 1992. Simon can help you understand your medical situation and discuss all of your options.

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus (or other reproductive organs and tissue, if necessary) and can be a life-saving procedure if you have uterine cancer. However, if you're experiencing intolerable pelvic pain from endometriosis or heavy, irregular periods, a hysterectomy can often bring relief from troublesome symptoms and enhance your quality of life.

After surgery, most women return to their normal routines within six weeks. It's important to note that sexual activity can also be resumed after a hysterectomy (with doctor's release) and shouldn't affect this aspect of your life. This concern has been carefully studied and women with a good sex life before a hysterectomy usually maintain it afterward. Studies have shown that some women even experience an increase in sexual pleasure. This may be associated with relief from the chronic pain or heavy bleeding that was caused by a uterine problem.

Contact Simon today and let us help you prepare for your hysterectomy surgery in Phoenix.
