Patient's question:
Hysterectomy for uterine prolapse means what does it mean to do a complete removal? Can a complete removal ensure survival? Have you had a uterine suspension surgery before?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's information, a total hysterectomy is necessary to prevent the recurrence of urinary or fecal incontinence due to pressure on the bladder and rectum. The separation of the uterus from the bladder, leading to an opening at the vulva, can cause infection. The patient has previously undergone a uterine suspension procedure. As the patient ages, the rise in estrogen levels leads to relaxation of the uterine ligaments and pelvic floor muscles, resulting in severe uterine prolapse. A total hysterectomy will not cause a sensation of falling. Severe uterine atrophy brings inconvenience to life. At the age of 48, the pelvic floor muscles are, the uterine ligaments are, and the rise in hormones in the body leads to prolapse. After the hysterectomy, the patient's life returns to normal.
