Why hysterectomy might be necessary?


In a study made, an estimate of 300 from every 100,000 women can experience hysterectomy. Hysterectomy has found its way to the medical world to save lives of women who suffers from reproductive-related problems and cancers.

Hysterectomy is an operation done to remove a woman’s uterus. There are two types of surgery performed, the partial and complete operation. In partial surgery, the uterus is removed while complete surgerical operation may also take out other organs such as the cervix, ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Complete surgery is being done when severe problems exist such as cancer or endometriosis.

Other reasons for performing this kind of operation are to provide solutions on problems on the uterus, heavy and abnormal bleeding which can either be caused by endometriosis or fibroid tumors. The length of stay of a woman after the operation varies from 1 to 4 days depending on the health conditions and other circumstances. With the total number of surgeries that involves removal of the uterus being performed, only 10% is because of cancer.

Here are some of the non-cancerous reasons for the said surgery.

Uterine fibroids. The presence of uterine fibroids is one of the main reasons for conducting this kind of operation. Fibroids are benign tumors in females and often appear in the middle or late reproductive year.

Prolapse. In some circumstances, the bladder or the rectum and maybe both might get pulled downward with the uterus. In most women, sagging may not be severe and symptoms are lesser. In severe cases, hysterectomy may be required as well as repair of the supporting structures.

Pelvic adhesion – irritation of the lining of the abdomen may cause adhesions (scarring) which bind affected organs to each other. The adhesions can result from endometriosis, infection or injury. Endometriosis is a noncancerous condition in which cells from the uterine lining grow outside the uterus.
