Removal of the uterus and ovaries.

Removal of the uterus and ovaries is carried out as a last resort, when all methods of treatment have been tried, and no positive results were given. To prompt intervention may result in such causes as uterine fibroids, prolapse of it, cancer of the uterus, cervix or ovaries, vaginal bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis. Many women get depressed after removal of the uterus, the risk of heart disease increases, early ovarian failure may occur, there is a violation of sexual activity, especially if the woman and before surgery had sexual problems. Removal of the uterus and ovaries can lead to a complete loss of sexual desire, weight gain, increased fatigue. You may also have problems with the genitourinary system.

Ovaries are the main organ that produces sex hormones. When they are removed, forced menopause occurs, and in order to partially restore the body, hormone replacement therapy with estrogen, which is administered for life, is prescribed. But the natural production of hormones, of course, is inferior.

The consequence of such removal is equivalent to the consequences of removing testicles in men.

Of course, the removal of the uterus and ovaries adversely affects the body. Even in a man of advanced age, the ovaries continue to produce the necessary hormones, so for any woman they were and will remain an organ of vital importance. If a woman has cervical cancer removed, the consequences also cause significant damage to her body.

However, from all this can be extracted and a positive result. Women who have undergone the operation, disappear pains and bleeding, permanent prolonged menstruation. Earlier, when scraping the mucous uterus, the effect was enough for two to three months, and this provided that it should be done three to four times. And this for a woman did not pass without a trace. Most patients fear that removal of the uterus and ovaries can significantly affect weight gain. This can happen, but in rare cases. Many women are constantly tormented by the thought of an unwanted pregnancy. Now, after the operation, sexual life will become more relaxed, and the partner will not feel a special difference. Excites women and the issue of orgasm after the surgery. It should be noted that the sensations during intercourse will not be the same as before, but they will still be, just the perception of orgasm will become a little different. But in any case, doctors warn that not all women experience positive changes. The consequences after the operation may be different. There are women whose uterus is prone to polyps.

They consist of the body and legs and are due to hormonal disorders or as a result of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus. Most of them are benign, however, malignant formations are also possible.

Many women have no symptoms associated with polyps. But there are cases when the menstrual cycle is broken because of them. It can be long, with small interruptions. Polyps are best seen on the fifth day after menstruation. In most cases, doctors immediately recommend the removal of uterine polyps. However, there is another method, when blindly the scraping of the uterine mucosa and the mucous membrane of the cervical canal is performed. But success as a result of such intervention is only in seventy percent of patients. And the rest of the thirty percent remains a part of the polyp - leg. It then gives rise to the growth of a new polyp, which in time will need to be removed.

The modern technique allows you to make a polyp removal using a resectoscope. In this case, it is completely removed. Its design is quite complicated. The presence at the end of the so-called "loop" and electric current allows you to cut the formation of the root, taking in addition to the mucosa and the muscular membrane of the uterus. At the site of removal the polyp will never grow.
