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.
