I was originally seeing a consultant at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital for prolapse related issues following childbirth. They had suggested a few different procedures, however I was keen to get a second opinion and was recommended Dr Ammar by a mutual friend. I am so pleased that I asked for a referral as the recommended procedure by Chelsea & Westminster she deemed unnecessary and advised I should just have a vaginal hysterectomy and to keep my ovaries. She was very friendly and helpful and I felt very reassured during my whole operation, pre and post. My recovery was extraordinarily quick and am thrilled with the results. This was all done through the NHS and it was my first operation and general anaesthetic. Katy and her team were brilliant and felt I was well looked after. So many of my friends have similar issues and think are embarrassed to discuss and also think no womb equals being less of a woman! I feel more sexually confident, have no more periods or any risk of cervical cancer. I am 43 and knew I no longer wanted children and dealt with it early on rather than having to probably have the same operation in 10 years time.
