My cousin has cervical cancer, and her doctor recommended a hysterectomy. I'm very concerned about her. What are the effects of uterus removal on the body?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Zhe
After a hysterectomy, the main impact is on fertility, as the uterus is the organ responsible for fetal development, and therefore reproductive capability is lost. A hysterectomy also affects menstruation and daily sexual life, as well as blood circulation and ovarian blood supply, which may lead to premature ovarian failure and accelerate physical aging.
