Reasons for a Hysterectomy

Learn why removal of the uterus might be your best treatment option

There are several conditions you might have that could lead your doctor to recommend a hysterectomy. These include:

  • Fibroids: Benign tumors arising from the muscle of the uterus may grow and become large, causing pressure on other organs and possibly heavy bleeding or pelvic pain.
  • Endometriosis: Endometrial cells sometimes grow outside of the uterus, attach themselves to other organs in the pelvic cavity, and bleed each month in accordance with the ovarian cycle. This can result in chronic pelvic pain, pain during sex, and prolonged or heavy bleeding.
  • Endometrial hyperplasia: A cause of abnormal bleeding, this over-thickening of the uterine lining is often due to the presence of very high levels of estrogen.
  • Cancer: Approximately 10 percent of hysterectomies are performed to treat cancer of the cervix, ovaries, or endometrium.
  • Blockage of the bladder or intestines: A hysterectomy may be performed if there is a blockage of the bladder or intestines by the uterus or a growth.
