What specific complications are associated with hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, can involve specific complications such as:
- Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence: The reopening of the sutured top of the vagina. - Urinary Tract Injury: Damage to the bladder or ureters. - Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The descent of pelvic organs into the vaginal canal. - Hormonal Imbalance: Particularly if the ovaries are also removed, leading to menopausal symptoms.
