Patient's question:
My mother is 54 years old with uterine fibroids and cervical polyps. The doctor recommended removing the uterus and cervix, and also suggested removing the ovaries. Will removing all of these organs affect her lifespan?Doctor's answer:
It will not interfere with lifespan. After menopause, the uterus and ovaries should gradually expand and should not produce anything anymore. If there are any issues, it is recommended to actively pursue surgery. For Auntie's condition, she is still developing fibroids and polyps. After menopause, the ovaries become ineffective, and leaving them behind increases the risk of ovarian tumors. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a total hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy. It is important to rest properly after surgery, maintain a balanced diet, and recover quickly.
