This research study is looking at why some women develop chronic pain after hysterectomy surgery, while others don't. Before your surgery, researchers will ask you to complete questionnaires and undergo simple pain sensitivity tests to measure how your body responds to pressure and other stimuli. By following you for 4 to 6 months after surgery, the team hopes to identify which factors predict who will experience lasting pain—information that could help doctors provide better, personalized care in the future.
Chronic pain after hysterectomy affects about 1 in 3 women in Singapore and significantly impacts quality of life. Currently, doctors don't have reliable ways to identify beforehand which patients are at highest risk, so this research aims to find warning signs that could lead to earlier intervention and better outcomes.

Before your scheduled hysterectomy, you will visit the hospital for an assessment lasting about 1–2 hours, during which you'll complete questionnaires about pain, fear, and emotions, and undergo simple physical tests (like pressure applied to your skin) to measure your pain sensitivity. After your surgery, you'll be contacted for follow-up visits or phone calls at 4 months and 6 months to report whether you're experiencing any ongoing pain. The entire study involvement lasts about 6 months from your preoperative visit through the final follow-up.
