Sequelae of hysterectomy and cervix removal

The uterus is a part of the female reproductive organs and it plays an important role. As the name suggests, it is the palace of children and the place where the fetus is conceived. It also plays an important regulatory role on female endocrine. When women suffer from diseases such as cervical cancer, they need surgical removal for treatment. What will be the impact if women do not have this organ? What are the sequelae of uterine and cervical removal? Let’s take a look below.

Clinical surveys show that tens of thousands of people have their hysterectomy every year. So are there any side effects of hysterectomy? In order to help more women be cautious when choosing treatment methods, the following is a detailed introduction. Sequelae of hysterectomy: 1. Prone to 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.

Increased urinary system symptoms The female urinary system is homologous to the reproductive system and is both estrogen-dependent organs. 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. Sequelae of hysterectomy 3. Female sexual dysfunction Estrogen is the most important regulating hormone of female sexual function, and the ovary is the main secretory organ. After hysterectomy, the blood supply and function of the ovary are affected. Most women will experience varying degrees of sexual function changes, such as decreased or lack of libido, decreased frequency of sexual activity, decreased sexual responsiveness, difficulty in orgasm, and decreased sensation of reproductive organs.

Sequelae of hysterectomy 4. Ovarian dysfunction. Before menopause, the endocrine system between the uterus and ovaries maintains a precise and subtle dynamic balance. Hysterectomy will inevitably destroy this balance and may cause ovarian function to decline, making menopausal symptoms earlier and more obvious. In addition to the above-mentioned sequelae of hysterectomy, some patients experience symptoms such as intestinal adhesions, back pain, leg pain, and prolapse of internal organs after surgery. Some women experience dry hair, increased wrinkles, irritability, insomnia, and irritability after hysterectomy. According to statistics from the American Hershey Foundation, what will happen to a woman after a hysterectomy? The various impacts are as follows. In the hospital, hysterectomy is performed in two situations. First, the uterus is diseased and needs surgical treatment; second, some women who have already given birth request a hysterectomy because of menstrual problems or dysmenorrhea. However, why do hospitals call for hysterectomy? On the one hand, there is a component of doctors' guidance (such as there is no need to keep the uterus after giving birth), and on the other hand, it is also a way to increase income.
