A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure which removes the uterus & ovaries from a woman's body. Cancer, cysts & other common Intra uterine disease issues are often corrected/mitigated with a Total or Partial Hysterectomy. a partial is generally considered to be taking the uterus but leaving the ovaries in hope of saving some hormone production. A total Hysterectomy takes all of the Uterus & the ovaries at the same time.

Those organs are primarily reproductive & hormone generating in function. The result of a Hysterectomy would be the end of Reproductive capability and the loss or reduction in key Hormone production.

She will no longer have a menstrual cycle & A woman can no longer get pregnant & is functionally in Menopause. Hot flashes, Night sweats, weight gain, headaches, Vaginal Dryness and a complete loss of sex drive are common side effects of a Hysterectomy.

Replacing the key Testosterone & Estrogen hormones will be required or the Menopausal symptoms may be unbearable. Pills, Patches even creams are often used to some good or partial effect or benefit.

Bio Identical (natural) Pellet Therapy is also indicated and frequently used to good effect. The pellet (Hormone Replacement Therapy H.R.T.) therapy avoids spikes, stomach upset, liver complication and the known Cancer link to synthetic estrogen treatments.
