Patient's question:
I want to ask the doctor if there is a relationship between a woman's hysterectomy and menopause. Will the two have an impact on each other?Doctor's answer:
The removal of a woman's uterus is not necessarily related to menopause. Menopause is primarily caused by the regression of the female body's physiological functions, the decline in ovarian function, and the rise in endocrine estrogen levels, which leads to it. A simple hysterectomy preserves the ovaries and vagina, so as long as the ovaries are not removed, the removal of the uterus will never cause an increase in estrogen levels in women's endocrine, thus leading to menopausal symptoms.
