Hysterectomy is a very common GYN procedure. More than 500,000 women go through hysterectomy surgery every year and 1 in 3 will have one by age 60. In order to understand the true effects of the procedure, it is important to know the type the approach your surgeon will use and the type of hysterectomy performed. Nearly 1 in 3 women incorrectly believe that removing the uterus will cause menopause to occur, when in fact this is not true for standard (partial) hysterectomy. As hormone production is sourced at the ovaries, symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and sexual dysfunction will not occur with a partial hysterectomy. The role of the uterus is to allow for the growth of a pregnancy and it does not make hormones. It is important that women understand the facts when it comes to their hysterectomy surgery.

Sarah's Story: Laparoscopic Hysterectomy at CIGC Following Complications With The Essure Device3/2/2016 Sarah Joan Swann came to CIGC in search of a GYN specialist who will listen, after over 23 years of trying to get her doctors to listen to her. She was dealing with pelvic pain and heavy bleeding, but the symptoms didn't stop here. Sarah struggled with fatigue, bad memory and concentration problems. She was gaining weight really quickly and was going through crying spells. Sarah knew something was wrong, but nobody would listen. She felt like her body was set on self-destruct mode. Then 12 hours after her laparoscopic hysterectomy with Paul MacKoul MD at CIGC, she felt reborn.
