NHS vs private
The NHS route should remain central for clinically indicated major surgery. Private care may be considered where waits are long and symptoms are materially affecting life, but you still need proper gynaecology assessment, counselling and follow-up.
Ask whether the private package covers unexpected findings, conversion to another approach, longer stay or readmission. These are the details that matter more than a simple headline price.

Private hysterectomy usually costs several thousand pounds and varies by surgical approach, hospital, consultant, anaesthetic, length of stay, diagnostics and aftercare.

Yes, hysterectomy is available on the NHS when clinically indicated. Waiting time depends on urgency, local capacity and the gynaecology pathway.
