My experience after hysterectomy at 45

Whether a woman's body is healthy or not is closely related to her uterus. When women reach the age of 45, the functions of the body begin to gradually decline, and menstruation will become less frequent or even absent. The chance of getting uterine disease at this time is greatly increased. When the uterus shows some serious symptoms, the doctor will recommend its removal. So what effects will uterus removal have on the human body? Let’s find out together.

Unable to conceive

If a woman wants to get pregnant, her uterus must be healthy so that the sperm and egg can combine to create an area for the embryo to implant. If a woman has already given birth and has some physical illness, then a hysterectomy at this time will have less psychological impact on her. However, if she has not yet given birth and has a hysterectomy, it means that she will lose the opportunity to get pregnant, which is a big blow to women who do not have children. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to have a hysterectomy.

Endocrine disorders

Under normal circumstances, the hormone in a woman's body is maintained in a balanced state. After a woman has her uterus removed, her urinary system, immune system and other aspects are prone to imbalance. The function of the uterus and ovaries will be reduced, and the body's growth hormone will be disordered, which will lead to various diseases.

Menstrual period disappears

The uterus is responsible for the onset of menstruation in the human body. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium, so when the uterus is removed, the menstruation will disappear. However, there is also a situation that during the operation, part of the uterine wall is preserved, then there may be a small amount of menstruation every month.

Early

Most women are very resistant to menopause. After menopause comes, they will become more and more emotionally unstable, their moods will fluctuate greatly, and they are very prone to depression. The onset of menopause also means that the human body has entered a gradual decline. After a hysterectomy, women will not only face premature menopause, but also more severe menopausal symptoms, which may even extend the duration of menopause, a result that no woman wants to see. Therefore, female friends should protect their uterus in life to reduce the damage to the uterus.

Ovarian descent

The relationship between the uterus and ovaries is very close, and their interaction and restraint are mutual. Therefore, when the uterus is removed, the function of the ovaries will also decrease. Therefore, we should not only care about the health of the uterus, but also maintain the health of the uterus and ovaries.

Decreased sexual desire

A woman's body secretes a lot of estrogen every day. After a hysterectomy, the secretion of estrogen decreases and the endocrine system will also be affected, which may lead to a decrease in women's sexual desire. In severe cases, sexual apathy may occur.

Atrophy of urethral mucosa

After hysterectomy, the female body's estrogen secretion decreases, and the elastic tissue around the urethral opening will gradually soften, which will cause the urethral opening mucosa to shrink. Such things can easily cause women to suffer from urinary and reproductive system diseases, so if such things happen, you should pay attention.
