As with any surgical procedure, hysterectomy carries risks, including:
Infection: Post-operative infections can occur at the site of surgery. Bleeding: Excessive bleeding may require additional interventions. Injury to surrounding organs: Such as the bladder or intestines during surgery. Blood clots: Increased risk of clots in the legs or lungs during recovery. Hormonal changes: If the ovaries are removed, this can lead to menopause and its associated symptoms.
