Consequences of Uterus Removal
Disease description:
Due to medical reasons, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be necessary. I would like to ask, what are the consequences of undergoing a hysterectomy?

The consequences of uterine removal mainly include the following points:
1. **Cessation of menstruation**: The uterus is an important organ responsible for menstruation; after its removal, menstruation will no longer occur.
2. **Loss of fertility**: The uterus is the organ responsible for fetal development; its removal results in the loss of childbearing ability.
3. **Impact on ovarian function**: Uterine removal may affect blood supply to the ovaries, leading to decreased ovarian function and reduced estrogen secretion, which may result in early menopause.
4. **Decline in sexual quality of life**: Reduced estrogen levels may cause vaginal dryness, leading to pain or bleeding during sexual intercourse, thereby affecting sexual satisfaction.
5. **Other potential effects**: Such as postoperative infection, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. However, these complications are not inevitable and their risks can be reduced through proper postoperative care and rehabilitation.
