Popis: Hysterectomy is typically performed to treat cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroids. Depending on which part of the reproductive system is removed along with the uterus, the procedure may be radical, complete, or partial. Laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomy has less risk than abdominal hysterectomy, which is more dangerous. After a hysterectomy, women no longer have monthly periods and are unable to become pregnant. Surgical menopause is the outcome of the ovaries and uterus being removed together. Depending on the procedure and the patient's health, recovery can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. Normal hormonal levels are significantly disturbed after surgery, which causes several difficulties in women. It raises the possibility of long-term mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety. Following a hysterectomy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help to restore hormonal balance and lessen side effects. One should not panic after a hysterectomy; instead, should follow the doctor's instructions, also taking care of oneself and continuing with the daily routine will help in recovering faster.
