What are the consequences after hysterectomy?

The uterus is important for every woman, because having a baby is every woman's dream. However, when many women have problems with their uterus, they will undergo some surgery, such as hysterectomy. Many people do not understand the impact of hysterectomy. Of course, any surgery will have certain side effects. Let us now understand the impact of hysterectomy.

Because the hysterectomy has been removed, the pelvic cavity cannot keep blood in the body for a longer period of time, and the vagina is less likely to expand. During the climax of pleasure, the uterine contraction also disappears, so the pleasure disappears more easily. There are also changes in the ovaries, which are very important.

The uterus is an important internal reproductive organ. It is not uncommon for women to undergo hysterectomy due to uterine diseases such as uterine fibroids, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and adenomyosis. The uterus is not only an important reproductive organ, but also has endocrine functions. After hysterectomy, a series of changes will occur in the body, specifically:

①Menstruation disappears. Menstruation is the periodic shedding of the endometrium. After hysterectomy, menstruation disappears naturally.

②Vaginal secretions decrease. Vaginal secretions are composed of secretions from the uterine cavity, cervical glands and vaginal exfoliated cells. Patients with uterine fibroids have an abnormal increase in secretions due to the enlargement of the uterine cavity. Vaginal secretions are significantly reduced after hysterectomy.

③ Early onset of menopausal symptoms. The blood supply to the ovaries comes from the ascending branches of the ovarian arteries and the uterine arteries. Literature reports that the uterine side supplies about 50% to 70% of the blood to the ovaries. Hysterectomy can affect the blood supply to the ovaries and accelerate ovarian failure. Siddle et al. demonstrated that women who underwent hysterectomy experienced ovarian failure 4 years earlier than those who experienced natural menopause, and 34% of women experienced ovarian failure and menopausal symptoms within 2 years after surgery.

④Hysterectomy affects the integrity of the pelvic floor, shortens the vagina, and has a certain impact on sexual life. Subtotal hysterectomy or intrafascial hysterectomy can greatly reduce the impact on sexual life.

⑤The incidence of cardiovascular diseases increased. After hysterectomy, ovarian function fails prematurely, estrogen secretion decreases, cardiovascular morbidity increases, and patients are prone to obesity, hypertension, heart disease, osteoporosis, etc.

The above answers to the questions about the effects of hysterectomy are listed one by one. It can be seen that hysterectomy has a relatively large impact on women. Therefore, in life, as a girl, especially during menstruation, you must learn to take care of yourself, eat less food that is not good for menstruation, pay attention to keeping warm, and keep yourself safe and healthy at all times.
