A. Affect the blood supply to the ovaries For the issue of removing the uterus, although many doctors will tell you that the uterus that has completed its reproductive function actually has basically no practical role. If the uterus is removed, the ovaries are still able to produce sex hormones normally to maintain various female physiological functions. Is this correct? Please see the diagram below. In fact, the ovaries are connected to the uterus, and when the uterus is removed, the blood supply to the ovaries will definitely be affected, and the blood supply will be affected, resulting in premature ovarian failure and “early menopause” symptoms! More importantly, after the removal of the uterus, there will be no more menstrual flow, the fertilized egg will lose its place of conception and will not be able to have children. It is possible to say that it is still like before the removal of the uterus, do you think? For women, the uterus is part of her body; they are often worried about their appearance aging after the removal of the uterus. They think they are not women anymore, and worry about the side effects, so they will be paranoid, anxious and restless. These psychological problems alone make them unbearable Third, the integrity of the pelvic floor is destroyed According to statistics, about 2 million people are removed from the uterus every year in China, of which 60-70% are removed because of uterine fibroids. Many people think that the removal of the uterus should be a very simple thing, everything is not finished? However, in fact, to remove the uterus, a hole must be dug in the pelvic floor, and the blood vessels, nerves and ligaments associated with the uterus must be cut. In terms of the internal environment of the body, the integrity of the pelvic floor is destroyed, the pelvic floor support is reduced, and the viscera sag, which results in abnormal movement and widening of the bones and organs in the woman’s pelvis, thus affecting the hip, the lower back, and the skeletal structure. And the misalignment of the pelvis leads to compression of the spine, and when the spine is compressed, the thoracic cavity slowly moves down until it moves directly down to the hips. This is why women who have had hysterectomies have protruding abdomens or no lumbar area. This type of situation is not unheard of. The other day a patient’s family consulted me on behalf of her mother, saying that her mother had her hysterectomy and after some time after the removal she found her abdomen protruding and asked me if it was the cause of the hysterectomy. After hysterectomy, some patients do experience this condition. If you are suffering from adenomyosis, adenomyoma, fibroids, coeliac disease, etc., it is better to try not to remove the uterus. Treatment can be done in a uterus-preserving way. Of course, in the case of necessity (e.g., not cutting the uterus may be life-threatening) or to remove the uterus, after all, to save life is most important.
