Introduction
The general reference price range for uterine prolapse surgery is 8,000–20,000 yuan. Gradual recovery typically takes 4–8 weeks after surgery, and localized pain or light vaginal bleeding may occur during the recovery period. The exact cost depends on factors such as the surgical method, regional economic conditions, preoperative examination items, postoperative care requirements, and whether mesh materials are used.
Uterine prolapse usually refers to the prolapse of the uterus. Uterine prolapse surgery is a treatment method that repairs the pelvic floor tissues and repositions the uterus through surgical procedures to relieve symptoms such as the sensation of pressure and abnormal urination. The general reference price range is 8,000–20,000 yuan. Gradual recovery typically takes 4–8 weeks after surgery, and localized pain or slight vaginal bleeding may occur during the recovery period. Specific costs depend on factors such as the surgical method, regional economic level, preoperative examination items, postoperative care requirements, and whether mesh materials are used. For accurate pricing, it is recommended to consult a local reputable hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Surgical Method: Prices vary significantly depending on the procedure. Vaginal hysterectomy, a relatively traditional procedure, generally costs 8,000–12,000 yuan. Laparoscopic uterine suspension, which involves smaller incisions and faster recovery, typically costs 12,000–16,000 yuan. Pelvic floor reconstruction, which involves higher technical complexity, usually costs 16,000–20,000 yuan.
2. Regional Economic Level: In less economically developed third- and fourth-tier cities and counties, the general reference price for the surgery is 8,000–12,000 yuan. In medium-sized cities with moderate economic development, prices are typically 12,000–16,000 yuan. In economically developed first-tier cities, where labor and equipment costs are higher, prices usually range from 16,000–20,000 yuan.
3. Preoperative Examination Items: If only basic examinations are performed, the examination fee is approximately 500–800 yuan, and the total cost including the examination generally ranges from 8,500–12,800 yuan. If additional tests such as pelvic floor function assessment or infectious disease screening are required, the examination fee increases to 1,000–1,500 yuan, and the total cost then ranges from 9,000–13,500 yuan.
4. Postoperative Care Requirements: If basic nursing care is sufficient and the recovery is smooth, the nursing fee is approximately 800–1,200 yuan, and the total cost including nursing care ranges from 8,800–13,200 yuan. If additional treatments such as pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy or intravenous infusion are required, the nursing fee increases to 1,500–2,000 yuan, and the total cost then ranges from 9,500–14,000 yuan.
5. Use of Mesh Materials: If no mesh is used, the general reference price for the surgery is 8,000–14,000 yuan. If synthetic or biological mesh is implanted due to weak pelvic floor tissue, the cost of the mesh adds 3,000–6,000 yuan, making the total cost range 11,000–20,000 yuan.
When undergoing uterine prolapse surgery, it is recommended to choose a reputable hospital's gynecology or pelvic floor surgery department, where professional doctors can assess the condition and formulate a treatment plan to ensure surgical safety and effectiveness. Heavy physical labor should be avoided after surgery, personal hygiene should be maintained, and pelvic floor muscle exercises should be performed as directed by the physician to promote recovery.
