What are the effects on a woman's body after hysterectomy?

For women, the uterus is a vital organ. It is the key to nurturing the next generation, so the health of the uterus can also be related to women's future. However, many diseases force women to have their hysterectomy. So for a woman, what effects will hysterectomy have on her body? Regarding this issue, let our expert friends give us a detailed introduction to the effects on women's bodies after a hysterectomy.

After the uterus is removed, women will forever lose the opportunity to conceive a new life, because each fetus needs to survive in the uterus for 40 weeks. Without the uterus, women cannot allow an embryo to grow into a fetus, let alone the hope of having a child.

After a woman loses her uterus, her sexual function will degenerate to varying degrees, her sexual desire will decrease, and her sexual sensitivity will also be affected. This is because after a woman loses her uterus, estrogen cannot be secreted normally, and the blood supply and function of the ovaries will be greatly affected. The inability of the ovaries to secrete estrogen normally will naturally directly affect the quality of a woman's sex life.

Removing the uterus will also have a great impact on the entire ovarian function, because for the ovaries to be healthy, the entire endocrine balance must be maintained, and without the uterus, this balance will be disrupted. Therefore, for women, after the uterus is removed, the ovaries will age prematurely, and premature ovarian failure will make the whole woman look older than her actual age, and menopause will also come earlier. This is actually very easy to understand. For women, losing a uterus is like losing menstruation. Menstruation is a barometer of women's health. Without this health indicator, the physical condition will be greatly affected.

After the hysterectomy, it is not only the secretion of female hormones that is affected, but also the elastic tissue around the entire urethra, which will make these elastic tissues thinner and may even cause the symptoms of the entire urinary system to worsen. A small number of women will also have urinary incontinence after the hysterectomy. Studies have shown that the incidence of urinary system diseases in women who have had a hysterectomy is about 40% higher than that in healthy women.

Hysterectomy will also affect a woman's entire central nervous system, because under normal circumstances the endocrine system of the human uterus is closely related to the entire central nervous system of the human body. After the uterus is removed, this relationship will be destroyed, which will affect the normal secretion and metabolic functions of the entire central nervous system. Therefore, many women will experience varying degrees of memory loss, insomnia, and loss of confidence in everything after having their hysterectomy. Besides, everyone knows that the uterus has a special meaning for women, especially for those women of childbearing age, why would they feel inferior because of this?

From the above article, we can understand that a woman’s hysterectomy will have a great impact on her physical health, so it is not recommended to have a hysterectomy unless it is absolutely necessary. However, if certain diseases are not removed, they may affect one's life. Therefore, when necessary, everyone should listen to the doctor's advice and have to give in.
