Pros and Cons of Removing Your Uterus - Hysterectomy: To Do or Not to Do Part 2

from W.O.W. MD - Your Wellness Optimizing Warrior

Hysterectomies are one of the commonly performed surgeries in the United States, with half a million being performed every year. More than 40% of women will end up having a hysterectomy in their lifetime. Having this procedure may mean the end of carrying a child, however if you still have your ovaries, you may be able to have biological children via a surrogate.  Your period is a sign of how your hormones are working. Being without a uterus may make it more difficult to uncover any possible problems. For some women, their uterus is associated with their womanly spirit or essence—which means the loss of their uterus can lead to feelings of loss. Sexual function is another potential downside following a hysterectomy. The degree to which your sex life may be impacted depends on your age, the reason your uterus was removed, and whether your cervix and/or ovaries were removed. It's important to know there are potential traumas that can happen due to having this type of surgery. Other organs like your kidneys and bladder could be affected. For example, a significant percentage of women experience increased feelings of urgency to urinate and frequency of urination after a hysterectomy. Before you decide to get a hysterectomy, it's important to consider your personal circumstances. Ask your health professionals about your options, and don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Depending on your age, the state of your uterus, and your personal preferences, you may be better off choosing surgical or non-surgical options that allow you to keep your uterus.
