The uterus is the treasure that nurtures women's life, but many women do not pay attention to protecting their uterus. When the uterus is removed due to illness, they deeply regret the lack of care for their uterus at that time. Many women believe that uterine fibroids are benign tumors and do not require treatment. However, many women do not have the habit of regular gynecological examinations. By the time they find that their uterine fibroids have worsened, it is too late to regret.

Experts say that uterine fibroids are one of the common gynecological tumors, but they still have the potential to worsen. When a woman is diagnosed with uterine fibroids, she should seek treatment as soon as possible or have regular gynecological examinations to see if the fibroids have worsened to avoid having to have her uterus removed.

What are the dangers of having a hysterectomy? The following are the risks of having your uterus removed:

1. Symptoms of depression

The endocrine regulation of the uterus and ovaries forms a feedback system with the central nervous system. After the hysterectomy, this feedback link is destroyed. In particular, when the estrogen level drops, it will interfere with the normal secretion and metabolism of central neurotransmitters, which can cause varying degrees of anxiety and depression symptoms, such as low mood, anxiety, lack of interest, insomnia, memory loss, etc., thereby reducing women's quality of life.

2. Ovarian dysfunction

Before menopause, the endocrine system between the uterus and ovaries maintains a precise and subtle dynamic balance. Hysterectomy will inevitably disrupt this balance and may cause ovarian function to decline, making menopausal symptoms earlier and more obvious.

3. Urinary system symptoms

The female urinary system is homologous to the reproductive system and is both an estrogen-dependent organ. After hysterectomy, the estrogen level decreases, which can cause the elastic tissue around the urethra to thin, resulting in urinary incontinence, atrophy of the urethral mucosa, decreased resistance, and easy induction of urinary tract infection, and a series of urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating.

4. Decreased sexual function

Estrogen is the most important regulating hormone for female sexual function, and the ovaries are the main secretory organs. After hysterectomy, the blood supply and function of the ovaries are affected. Most women will experience varying degrees of changes in sexual function, such as decreased or lack of libido, decreased frequency of sexual activity, decreased sexual responsiveness, difficulty in orgasm, and decreased sensation in the reproductive organs.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of hysterectomy. From the above introduction, we can see that there are many dangers of hysterectomy. I believe that after reading the above introduction, everyone has a very good understanding of the dangers of hysterectomy. Therefore, for those who want to have their uterus removed, unless their disease is so serious that it is absolutely necessary to have their uterus removed, they must think twice before doing so!
