The uterus is vital to both the woman herself and to human reproduction. Some women need to have their uterus removed due to illness and they have a lot of concerns about the effects the surgery will have on them. So, let’s talk a little about what problems can occur after hysterectomy. Definitely, after the removal of the uterus, two important phenomena or functions of a woman are lost: first, she will not have a monthly period anymore, and second, she will not be able to conceive and give birth. Both of these are understood by women who are preparing for surgery. So do women age rapidly after hysterectomy or not? This depends on whether the ovaries are removed at the same time as the hysterectomy. Human aging is a very complex process that involves several organs. The uterus is only one of the organs of the reproductive tract, and its supervisor is the ovaries. When the ovaries decline in function, women enter menopause and menstruation stops. Therefore, in women with normal ovarian function, the onset of menopause is usually not accelerated if the uterus is removed without removing the ovaries (either by keeping one or both ovaries). After surgery, except for the absence of menstruation, the ovaries secrete hormones and act on the vulva, vagina, breasts and other organs as they did before surgery, so there are no symptoms such as breast atrophy, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, sweating and irritability. However, if the ovaries are not allowed to be preserved when the uterus is removed, menopausal symptoms do appear soon. In this case, hormone supplementation can be given under the guidance of a gynecologic endocrinologist to relieve symptoms and prevent osteoporosis.
