Introduction
Early-stage cervical cancer typically requires hysterectomy. Cervical cancer may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding, unusual discharge, pain, hydronephrosis, uremia, and fallopian tube obstruction. If the uterus is not removed early, the lesion may not be completely excised, leading to recurrence or even metastasis of cancer cells, affecting the pelvis, bladder, rectum, ureters, lungs, liver, bones, and other organs; therefore, hysterectomy is necessary.
Early-stage cervical cancer usually requires hysterectomy.
Patients with cervical cancer commonly experience irregular vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding, abnormal discharge, pain, and may even develop complications such as hydronephrosis, uremia, and fallopian tube obstruction. If the uterus is not removed in early-stage cervical cancer, the tumor may not be completely excised, leading to recurrence, and cancer cells may spread to areas including the pelvis, bladder, rectum, ureters, lungs, liver, and bones. Therefore, to protect overall health, hysterectomy is typically necessary.
Patients are advised to comprehensively consider their age, symptoms, and individual circumstances when choosing an appropriate treatment method to avoid delaying disease management.
