Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that is undertaken to treat certain problems with a woman's reproductive system. It involves the removal of the uterus and is performed to treat conditions such as excessive bleeding, fibroids, cancer, and others. As an example, the doctor may remove the uterus or even some of the other reproductive organs such as the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and the cervix in the treatment of cancer and in the effort to keep the cancer cells from spreading to the other organs. The removal of these organs may also be needed to stop bleeding. The removal of the ovaries during a hysterectomy results in the woman going into the menopause stage and becoming unable to bear children. But how do women already in the menopause stage respond to a hysterectomy? Are there different effects of hysterectomy after menopause compared to having the hysterectomy before menopause? Well, it's possible for women who have hysterectomy after menopause to either encounter considerable changes in their body or not. A woman goes into post menopause after undergoing a complete hysterectomy where the fallopian tubes, cervix, ovaries, and uterus are removed. At this point, the woman's body ceases to produce progesterone and estrogen. This, in turn, increases the testosterone level in the body, causing some masculine features to manifest. These include an increased growth of hair on the chin and on the upper lip. In addition, women who have undergone a complete hysterectomy after menopause can experience more fat buildup on the hips, thighs, and abdomen. Moreover, it may be necessary for the woman to undergo hormone replacement therapy to relieve bouts of hot flashes and other vasomotor symptoms. Psychological effects are immediately experienced by a woman who has undergone a hysterectomy after menopause. However, the bouts of depression that she experiences are mild and short-lived. Women who undergo hysterectomy after menopause usually don't experience many physical or psychological changes because the ovaries have stopped working by this time and having them removed doesn't matter anymore.
