Is it necessary to remove the uterus for uterine fibroid surgery? What are the harms to the human body after removing the uterus?

Uterine fibroids are considered to be no stranger to many people. It is the most common benign tumor in the female reproductive organs, and even the most common tumor in the human body. It is most common in women aged 40-50, and most common in women under 20. So, is uterine fibroid surgery removed?

As we all know, the uterus is one of the important reproductive organs of women, and it undertakes many important tasks such as childbearing and maintaining the normal physiological cycle of women. Based on the irreplaceable importance of the uterus, total hysterectomy has become one of the unacceptable operations for women in gynecological surgery. Therefore, the medical community has been committed to the physical and mental health of women and effectively avoiding total hysterectomy. The medical community has also put forward five main reasons: the uterus cannot be removed at will:

1. Hysterectomy always causes trauma to the body and has an impact on health.

2. Any surgery cannot rule out the possibility of complications (such as intestinal adhesions, etc.). Surgery in the pelvic cavity may sometimes damage organs such as the bladder and intestines.

3. Surgery is possible, but accidents may also happen during surgery.

4. Even if the operation is successful, hysterectomy will affect the function of the ovaries. Since the two are connected by blood vessels, 30% of the blood supply to the ovaries will inevitably be affected after hysterectomy.

5. Endocrine disorders lead to early menopause and menopause, premature aging, and even decreased body resistance.

As can be seen from the above, as long as the condition of uterine fibroids develops to a very serious degree, it is generally not recommended to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Once diagnosed, the patient should correctly understand the disease and maintain a good attitude; adopt appropriate treatment plans according to their own conditions; and actively cooperate with doctors to strive for good results.
