Can an elderly person have a hysterectomy?

  Patient: Description of the condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): The patient is female, 81 years old, in poor health. In this condition, the uterus suddenly bled heavily, at first it was black and red, and the next day, it turned bright red. She had an ultrasound at the hospital and only knew that there was something inside the uterus, but it was not clear whether it was cancerous or not, and she was prescribed medicine for a week, and now there is no more bleeding. Can I still have surgery at this age, and if so, what are the risks and can I get some treatment advice?  Li Caiyu, Early Detection and Treatment Center of Cervical Cancer, Jiangmen Maternal and Child Health Hospital: Firstly, ultrasound examination, then blood test for AFP and CA125, then uterine cavity segmental scraping + pathological examination, pending pathological results, then decide to operate.
