Patients with uterine fibroids have an abnormal increase in secretions due to the enlargement of the uterine cavity. Vaginal secretions are significantly reduced after hysterectomy.

3. Menopausal symptoms appear early. The blood supply to the ovaries comes from the ascending branches of the ovarian arteries and the uterine arteries. Hysterectomy can affect the blood supply to the ovaries and accelerate ovarian failure.
