While a hysterectomy can be a life-saving procedure, it carries significant risks:
1. Surgical Complications: These include infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. 2. Long-term Effects: Removing the uterus can lead to early menopause, affecting bone density and cardiovascular health. 3. Emotional Impact: The loss of fertility and hormonal changes can lead to emotional and psychological challenges. 4. Chronic Pain: Some women experience chronic pelvic pain even after the procedure.
