Consequences of Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy typically results in the loss of fertility and cessation of menstruation. Additionally, following hysterectomy, reduced pelvic blood flow to the uterus may lead to diminished vaginal elasticity, potentially affecting sexual harmony. This may also cause dyspareunia (painful intercourse) and vaginal dryness. Furthermore, hysterectomy may trigger adverse emotional responses, increasing the risk of depression.
