What are the circumstances under which hysterectomy is necessary?

Although the uterus is a woman's most basic reproductive organ, doctors will recommend hysterectomy for some people when their uterus is pathological, uncomfortable, or grows something that shouldn't be there. Of course, the uterus cannot be removed if absolutely necessary or in other circumstances. So let’s take a look at under what circumstances the uterus will be removed.

The uterus is very important for female friends, so female friends also attach great importance to the uterus. However, in daily life, many female friends suffer from some diseases and have to remove the uterus, so many female friends feel very sad. There are also many people who don’t know when to remove the uterus. So when should the uterus be removed?

1. Ovarian cyst

Sometimes, if the ovarian tumor is too large or in a postmenopausal woman, it can be removed altogether.

2. Uterine fibroids

Women with uterine fibroids may need a hysterectomy if:

a. When uterine fibroids are larger than those of a woman who has been pregnant for more than 12 weeks and does not wish to become pregnant again, a total hysterectomy should be performed.

b. Uterine fibroids cause heavy bleeding, or long-term excessive menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation leading to anemia, which cannot be cured by medication. At this time, surgical resection is an effective solution.

c. When uterine fibroids grow to the size of a fist, they cause compression of other organs in the pelvis. Surgical removal can relieve the symptoms, and large fibroids are more likely to worsen than small fibroids.

d. The fibroids grow too fast, or after menopause, the fibroids do not shrink but grow larger, requiring hysterectomy for treatment.

e. If a woman is infertile but all other examinations are normal, the cause of infertility may be uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids may cause habitual miscarriage, which requires surgical treatment.

3. Chronic infection

Some chronic infections form pus or cysts because the lesions are so large that drugs cannot effectively control their growth and a total hysterectomy is required.

4. Endometriosis

Endometriosis can cause severe dysmenorrhea or severe pelvic adhesions. In order to completely remove the lesions, a total hysterectomy may be required.
