What the three weeks actually look like

From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.

  1. Before you fly

    Reports and a surgeon’s opinion

    Send your X-rays and medical history. Within 24–48 hours you get a named surgeon’s written opinion and a costed plan from each hospital you shortlist.

  2. Day 1–2

    Arrival and tests

    Airport pickup, hotel check-in and hospital consultation. Blood work, ECG, anaesthesia clearance and a fitness review are completed the same or next day.

  3. Day 3

    Surgery

    The operation takes 60–90 minutes per joint. You are moved to your private room the same day and stood up with support within 24 hours.

  4. Day 4–7

    Walking with physio

    Twice-daily physiotherapy in the ward. Most patients walk with a frame by day two after surgery and manage stairs before discharge.

  5. Day 8–21

    Recovery and review

    You stay near the hospital in a serviced hotel with outpatient physio, then a final review, stitch removal and fit-to-fly clearance before you travel home.

Questions patients ask before they book

Essential details on payments, visa processing, language and post-operative flight permissions.

What is the age limit for hysterectomy?+
Any woman of legal age can have the procedure, but it has to be medically justified. It is unlikely that a doctor will perform hysterectomy on women ages 18 to 35 unless it is very necessary for their overall well-being and no other options are available.
Can you get pregnant after hysterectomy?+
You can???t get pregnant after hysterectomy surgery as there is no uterus to carry the baby.
Is hysterectomy painful?+
Hysterectomy is usually performed under anesthesia so you won???t experience any pain during the surgery. However, you may experience some pain which is normal after surgery, and can be easily managed with painkillers as prescribed by the doctor.
Is hysterectomy covered under medical insurance?+
Yes, it is covered. Most insurance companies cover the cost of a hysterectomy, as it is considered a medical necessity. To know more about insurance coverage, you must get in touch with your insurance provider.
