Compassionate guidance and advanced surgical expertise to help you make the right decision for your health.
Hysterectomy Consultation
Empowered Decisions Through Clinical Expertise
Deciding to have a hysterectomy is a significant step in your healthcare journey. At Queen Bee Gynecology, we believe this decision should be made with confidence, clarity, and the support of a specialist. Led by Dr. Beena J. Green, our consultation process focuses on a comprehensive review of your health history and symptoms. We prioritize exploring all evidence-based alternatives first, but when surgery is the best path forward, we specialize in minimally invasive techniques. Our gynecology-only focus ensures that your consultation and subsequent care are provided in a focused environment, allowing you to discuss your options without the rush or interruptions of a high-volume obstetric practice.
Our Process
Your Journey to Specialized Care
Your visit begins with a discussion of your symptoms, history, and treatment options.
Comprehensive Symptom Review
Beyond the Diagnosis. We start by discussing how your condition—whether it’s fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding—is impacting your life. Dr. Green listens to your goals, from pain relief to a permanent solution for chronic symptoms.
Exploration of Alternatives
Exhausting All Options. Before proceeding with surgery, we review non-surgical and less invasive alternatives. Our goal is to ensure that if a hysterectomy is chosen, it is because it is the most effective solution for your long-term wellness.
Surgical Education & Planning
Advanced Minimally Invasive Techniques. If surgery is necessary, Dr. Green can discuss laparoscopic hysterectomy and whether a hysteroscopic procedure is an alternative for your condition. We provide a detailed roadmap of the procedure, including whether your ovaries can be preserved and how their removal could affect menopause.
Recovery & Beyond
Support Through Every Stage. Our care doesn't end in the operating room. We provide a tailored recovery plan designed to get you back to your life quickly, along with long-term monitoring to ensure your hormonal and pelvic health remain optimized.

FAQs
Your Questions, Answered
Will I enter menopause immediately after a hysterectomy?
Not necessarily. If your ovaries are healthy and are not removed during the procedure (oophorectomy), they will continue to produce hormones, and you will not enter immediate menopause. Dr. Green will discuss the best strategy for your specific health needs.
What is the difference between a total and a partial hysterectomy?
A total hysterectomy involves removing the entire uterus and the cervix. A partial (or supracervical) hysterectomy removes only the upper part of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact. We help you weigh the benefits of each based on your medical history.
How long is the recovery for a minimally invasive hysterectomy?
A laparoscopic approach may shorten recovery for some patients, but the risks and recovery time depend on the operation and your health. Your surgeon will give you activity restrictions based on your procedure and recovery. Ask when you can return to work, exercise, lifting, and sex.
Can a hysterectomy be performed as an outpatient procedure?
Whether hysterectomy can be performed as an outpatient procedure depends on your health and the planned surgery.
