Does total hysterectomy have a big impact on the body?

Nowadays, more and more women of childbearing age have some inconvenient symptoms in their uterus, such as cervicitis, uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, etc. Especially when uterine fibroids and cervical cancer develop to a serious stage, hysterectomy is often necessary. So what will happen to women after touching their uterus? Let’s take a look at the following content.

1. Loss of reproductive function

The fetus implants and grows in the uterus. When a woman's uterus is removed, she will first lose her reproductive function, and this damage is irreversible. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, women must preserve the function of the uterus as much as possible.

2. Affecting sexual desire and male sexual function

Although some women no longer have the ability to get pregnant after having their uterus removed, their sexual desire and sexual function will be affected after the uterus is removed. For example, the vagina of many women will become shorter, and the secretion level of estrogen will decrease, which will also affect women's sexual desire. Many women often experience vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse, which can cause them to resist intercourse over time.

3. Decline too early

The uterus will directly affect the endocrine level in our body. After the uterus is removed, the endocrine function of the human body will become abnormal. Many people will have endocrine imbalance and estrogen metabolism imbalance, which will cause premature aging of our body.

4. Affects the physical and mental health of the urinary and reproductive systems

The urinary system and urogenital system of women are actually connected, and both systems rely on estrogen to maintain health. After a woman's uterus is removed, the estrogen level in her body will drop rapidly, which will cause the urethra to shrink, greatly affecting the reproductive ability. The resistance of the urogenital system will also be reduced, so many people will experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency to urinate, inability to hold urine, and urethral infection.
