An investigation into the age range of women having hysterectomy in district kullu an observational study

  • 1. Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, PGI, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Description

Hysterectomy is typically performed on women in their late perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. Indications for hysterectomy include menorrhagia, uterine prolapse, postmenopausal haemorrhage, etc. These symptoms in turn could be brought on by diseases such as endometrial cancer, fibroid uterus, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, or even endometrial hyperplasia. Age-related pathologies differ from one another. Because of the negative effects of oestrogen loss, hysterectomies performed before the age of 40 should not include oophorectomies. Yet it's also perilous to leave behind an organ that could develop cysts or cancer. Hence, it's necessary to weigh the risks and benefits. Postmenopausal symptoms and their effects continue to be a source of concern that requires constant monitoring and appropriate management because the perimenopausal age group turned out to be the most common one to have a hysterectomy.
