Hysterectomy as you might have heard that it is a surgical procedure for treating enlarged uterus or uterine fibroids. Hysterectomy is supposed to be one of the last options for the treatment of uterine disorders. It is a surgical procedure wherein the affected uterus is removed. It is usually done by a gynecologist.
Hysterectomy is done in either of the two ways: partial also known as supra-cervical or total where in the whole of the uterus is removed. In several cases surgical removal of the ovaries is also done along with hysterectomy. Then the surgery is called "total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy" (sometimes abbreviated TAH-BSO). The type of surgery that is done depends on the reason for the surgery.
Most often hysterectomy is used colloquially yet mistakenly for referring the removal of any parts of the female reproductive system. Hysterectomy as I have mentioned earlier is done in two ways. The later one is seldom done as it is the radical method of treatment where the affected organ, not the affected parts is removed from the patient’s body.
Though it is a bit rare but facts are really surprising which have shown up after research. In the United States, 1 out of 3 women can be expected to have a hysterectomy by age 60. There are 22 million women alive in the United States whose female organs have been surgically removed. It is the second most common surgery among women in the United States.
