The pros and cons of hysterectomy at the age of 47

The uterus is a very important part of a woman's body, and it is also very easy to have problems. If serious symptoms occur, the uterus must be removed. I won’t go into details about the body organs that will be affected by hysterectomy, but the lady feels that there may be problems with the human body. So what are the consequences of having a hysterectomy at the age of 45?

Hysterectomy is a common surgical procedure in obstetrics and gynecology. If a gynecological disease occurs, the hysterectomy can be performed, leaving one ovary intact so that the body's hormone secretion can remain normal. After the hysterectomy, women lose their reproductive function and are unlikely to have menstrual periods, but this will not affect their daily lives.

If a woman is over 45 years old and suffers from uterine cancer, it is recommended to have a hysterectomy to prevent the occurrence of lesions. Many women suffer a severe psychological blow after having a hysterectomy, and begin to resist having sex psychologically, which can also cause great damage to their mental state. In fact, physical and mental health is the most important thing. In the face of this situation, we also need to maintain a positive attitude.

After removal, many women's reproductive functions will be disrupted, the chance of infection will increase, and they may age. The muscles of the female pelvis also lack elasticity. During sexual intercourse, the insufficient expansion capacity of the vagina will affect the happiness of the couple's sex life and may affect the relationship between the couple. It is recommended that women take care of their health and get plenty of rest after surgery.

Does a hysterectomy really make you age faster?

First of all, we need to establish what the function of the uterus is? Generally speaking, the uterus has two main functions: one is menstruation, and the other is childbirth. Therefore, after a hysterectomy, it is difficult to have menstruation and naturally it is impossible to have children. However, the disappearance of menstruation after a hysterectomy is different from menopause due to aging.

The determining factors that control menstruation are the uterus and ovaries. Menopause is caused by ovarian failure and inability to secrete enough estrogen. For hysterectomy, if there is menstruation before surgery, the uterus and ovaries will still be preserved after hysterectomy. Although the menstruation is gone, it has not declined. Therefore, the factor that determines "aging" lies in the uterus and ovaries. If the ovaries are good, there will be no aging even if the uterus is removed; if the ovaries are not good, even if the uterus is not removed, it will also decline.

It should be noted that part of the blood supply to the uterus and ovaries comes from the blood vessels that communicate with the uterus. In the case of a hysterectomy, blocking this blood vessel may affect the blood supply to the uterus and ovaries after surgery. If the ovaries are already not in good condition before surgery, the reduced blood supply to the uterus and ovaries after surgery may accelerate ovarian decline. For younger women with good ovaries before surgery, the impact of hysterectomy is actually not significant.

Therefore, the real factor that determines whether a woman will decline lies in the uterus and ovaries rather than the uterus. It is recommended that many female friends do not hesitate to have a hysterectomy if they have to do so due to unavoidable reasons, but they must remember to protect their uterus and ovaries.
