What are the complications of hysterectomy?

Some female friends need to have their uterus removed due to illness. This practice will actually have a certain impact on the patient's body, such as the appearance of sequelae symptoms later on. Common sequelae include ovarian dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, symptoms of urinary system diseases, etc. If any physical discomfort occurs, patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner.

1. Ovarian dysfunction:

Before menopause, the endocrine system between the uterus and ovaries maintains a precise and delicate dynamic balance. Hysterectomy will inevitably disrupt this balance and may cause ovarian function to decline, resulting in earlier and more obvious menopausal symptoms.

2. Female sexual dysfunction:

Estrogen is the most important regulatory hormone for female sexual function, and the ovary is the main secretory organ. After hysterectomy, the blood supply and function of the ovaries are affected. Most women will experience varying degrees of changes in sexual function, such as decreased or lack of libido, decreased frequency of sexual activity, decreased sexual responsiveness, difficulty in orgasm, and decreased sensation in the reproductive organs.

3. Increased urinary system symptoms:

The female urinary system is homologous to the reproductive system and is both an estrogen-dependent organ. After hysterectomy, the estrogen level decreases, which can cause the elastic tissue around the urethra to thin and lead to urinary incontinence. The urethral mucosa atrophies and the resistance decreases, which can easily induce urinary tract infection and cause a series of urinary tract irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Domestic data show that more than 40% of women experience urinary system symptoms after hysterectomy, which is significantly higher than that of women with natural menopause and healthy women.
