Top 4 reasons women have hysterectomies

For those who don’t know, hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to  remove the  womb (uterus). 

Of the women who have a hysterectomy, about half of them have their  ovaries removed at the same time.

There are three categories as to why a woman may be recommended or required to have a hysterectomy:

• To save her life
• To correct a serious problem that is interfering with normal functioning
• To improve the quality of her life

Here are the top 4 specific causes why a woman why women have to undergo a hysterectomy:

1. Uterine fibroids

The most common reason why women need to have a hysterectomy is because of uterine fibroids, noncancerous growths that form in the uterus.

Fibroids can cause heavy bleeding and pain, and can be dealt with with medication and less-invasive procedures.

If other measures fail or fibroids continue to regrow and produce bothersome symptoms, a hysterectomy may be an option.

2. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is the second most common condition why a woman may need a hysterectomy.

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue, which is the inside lining of the uterus, begins to grow on the outside of the uterus and on nearby organs.

This condition may cause painful menstrual periods, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and loss of fertility.

3. Uterine Prolapse

This is a benign condition in which the uterus moves from its usual place down into the vagina. 

This condition is more common in women who’ve had multiple vaginal births. It can also affect women who are obese or who have gone through menopause.

Common symptoms in women with uterine prolapse are:

• pelvic pressure
• urinary issues
• bowel problems

4. Cancer

Cancer is the reason about 10 percent of all hysterectomies are performed.

A hysterectomy might be needed if you have cancer of the:

• uterus

However, for the past year or so I’ve noticed that I get extreme hot flashes and irritated so easily. My energy is lower and my moods are all over the place.

I have no idea what else would be causing all these symptoms. I’m miserable and want relief.” - Pamela
