Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
After a hysterectomy, the body will experience a series of changes, specifically：① Menstruation ceases. ② Vaginal discharge decreases. Vaginal discharge is composed of secretions from the uterine cavity and cervical glands, as well as shed vaginal cells. In patients with uterine fibroids, the enlarged uterine cavity causes an abnormal increase in discharge, and after a hysterectomy, vaginal discharge significantly decreases. ③ Premature menopausal symptoms appear. The blood supply to the ovaries comes from the ovarian artery and the ascending branch of the uterine artery. Hysterectomy can affect the blood supply to the ovaries, accelerating ovarian function decline. ④ Hysterectomy affects the integrity of the pelvic floor, shortens the vagina, and impacts sexual life. ⑤ The incidence of cardiovascular diseases increases. After a hysterectomy, early ovarian failure occurs, estrogen secretion decreases, and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases rises. Patients are more prone to conditions such as obesity, hypertension, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Treatment should be coordinated with a doctor.
