the whole uterus or just part of it is removed during a hysterectomy

Sometimes, doctors will also remove your fallopian tubes and ovaries during a hysterectomy.

After a hysterectomy, you won’t have menstrual periods hence, not been able to get pregnant

so, therefore, learn more about why you might need a hysterectomy and what risks are involved:

conditions which hysterectomy could be used to correct are s thus:

1. Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that form in the uterus. They’re the most common reason for a hysterectomy.

Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Your doctor may first recommend medications or other less-invasive procedures, such as a myomectomy, to treat fibroids. A myomectomy removes only the fibroids and leaves the uterus intact.

2. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it. it can cause extreme pain and irregular periods. It can also lead to infertility.

Hormone therapy and medical procedures to remove endometrial tissue are usually tried before a hysterectomy.

3.Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis happens when the lining of the uterus grows into the muscle of the uterus. This causes the uterine wall to thicken, which leads to pain and heavy bleeding.

This condition often goes away after menopause, but if your symptoms are severe, you may require treatment sooner.

Hormone therapies and pain medication are usually tried first, but If they don’t work, a hysterectomy may be an option.

4.Infection

Pelvic Inflammatory disease (PID) is a bacterial infection that can lead to severe pelvic pain, so also

PID can usually be treated with antibiotics if it’s found early. But, if it spreads it can damage the uterus.

Your doctor may recommend a hysterectomy if you have severe PID.

5.Hyperplasia

Hyperplasia means the lining of your uterus is too thick that is this condition may be caused by having too much estrogen.

In some cases, hyperplasia can lead to uterine cancer and also, Hyperplasia can cause heavy, irregular menstrual bleeding.

Typically, treatment options include different types of hormone therapies. If your hyperplasia is severe, but if your doctor suspects it may develop into cancer, they may recommend a hysterectomy.

6. General abnormal bleeding

You might benefit from a hysterectomy if you regularly experience and alsoheavy or irregular menstrual bleeding.

any of these conditions could cause irregular bleeding:

Some women experience a loss of interest in sex or become depressed after a hysterectomy. Talk to your doctor or another healthcare provider if this happens to you.

If you have your ovaries removed as part of the procedure and you haven’t gone through menopause yet, the surgery could cause you to experience menopause symptoms, such as:
