With over 600,000 hysterectomies performed in the United States alone every year,
hysterectomies are big business for the medical industry. And as more and more women sign
informed consent forms without every having an in-depth discussion with their doctors
about what their options really are and the lasting post surgery effects of having a
hysterectomy, abuse of the female body is raging out of control. According to the American
Journal of Obstetrics and Genecology, “In 2018, the Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education created a combined minimally invasive hysterectomy category and now
requires graduating residents to complete a minimum of 70 minimally invasive
hysterectomies”. And according to a hormonesmatter.com article in May 2022, that
minimum has now been increased from 70 to 85.
But what didn’t your doctor tell you before you agreed to have a hysterectomy? Of course the
most obvious and immediate side effects of removal of the uterus are menstrual periods stop
and pregnancy is no longer possible. However, there are numerous long-term side effects you
may not be aware of. According to emedicinehealth.com those long-term side effects that
your doctor may have never told you about include:
*Changes in sexual desire/responsiveness *Body changes
*Menopausal symptoms *Increased risk of other health problems
*Grief or depression over the loss of fertility like bone loss, heart disease, & incontinence
