Why should you get a hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy - the surgical removal of the uterus - is performed when disease or injury makes the operation necessary. The alternatives to conditions sufficiently severe as to warrant hysterectomy are usually life-threatening. Depending on the type of illness or injury either just the uterus is removed, or the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries are all removed.

Hysterectomy - series?
Normal anatomyThe uterus is joined at the cervix to the vagina and by the fallopian or uterine tubes to the ovaries.IndicationsA hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, resulting in the inability to become pregnant (sterility). May be done through the abdomen or the vagina.Hysterectomy may be recommended for:severe, long-term (chronic) infections (pelvic inflammatory disease)severe inflammation of the lining of the uterus (endometriosis)tumors in the uterusuterine fibroids, cancer of the endometriumcancer of the cervix, cancer of the ovarysevere, long-term (chronic) vaginal bleedingProcedureHysterectomy is a very common operation. The uterus may be completely removed, partially removed, or may be removed with the tubes and ovaries. A partial hysterectomy is removal of just the upper portion of the uterus, leaving the cervix and the base of the uterus are left intact. A total hysterectomy is removal of the entire uterus and the cervix . A radical hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, both fallopian tubes, both ovaries, and the upper part of the vagina.A hysterectomy may be done through an abdominal incision (abdominal hysterectomy) or through a vaginal incision (vaginal hysterectomy).AftercareMost patients recover completely from hysterectomy. Removal of the ovaries causes immediate menopause and hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) may be recommended.The average hospital stay is from 5 to 7 days. Complete recovery may require 2 weeks to 2 months. Recovery from a vaginal hysterectomy is faster than from a abdominal hysterectomy. If the bladder was involved, then a catheter may remain in place for 3 to 4 days to help the bladder pass urine. Moving about as soon as possible helps to avoid blood clots in the legs and other problems. Walking to the bathroom as soon as possible is recommended. Normal diet is encouraged as soon as possible after bowel function returns. Avoid lifting heavy objects for a few weeks following surgery. Sexual activities should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks after a hysterectomy.Reviewed ByReview Date: 02/28/2011David Zieve, MD, MHA, Medical Director, A.D.A.M., Inc., and Susan Storck, MD, FACOG, Chief, Eastside Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Bellevue, Washington; Clinical Teaching Faculty, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Washington School of Medicine.

Why do girls always show the guys their uteris and not their boobs?
Their"uteris"?You seem to be confused or uninformed.Do you know what a uterus is?The uterus is a major female hormone-responsive reproductive sex organ of most mammals, including humans It is within the uterus that the fetus develops during gestation.The uterus provides structural integrity and support to the bladder, bowel, pelvic bones and organs. The uterus helps separate and keep the bladder in its natural position above the pubic bone and the bowel in its natural configuration behind the uterus. The uterus is continuous with the cervix, which is continuous with the vagina, much in the way that the head is continuous with the neck, which is continuous with the shoulders.

Does it cause a miscarriage if you have straining bowel movements and what should you look for if there is tissue-like substance in the toilet after you do have a bowel movement?
Your bowels are nowhere near your uterus (womb) and constipation does not cause a miscarriage. If there is a tissue like substance in the toilet it may be from something you have eaten like tomato skin or sweetcorn, sometimes mushrooms. You may miscarry when you have constipation but the two are not related. I don't know if that is true or not...I have been having spotting after an episode of constipation myself. I experienced spotting for two days. How is it not possible that it can't harm your pregnancy. If a pregnant woman is not to lift heavy object, how can it not be harmful to strain the abdomen when having a bowel movement. I remember, from my previous pregnancies, having the same full sensation in my bowels when I was getting ready to have my baby. I strained the same muscles to push my baby into the world. So, how is it not possible to dislodge or push the fetus from the uterus with enough pressure applied on these same muscles? Because it is the muscles of the bowel wwhich push out a stool and the muscles of the uterus which push out the baby. The abdominal muscles only help. You may pass a stool as the baby is delivered because it was in the rectum and the baby's head has squeezed it out, like toothpaste out of a tube. I had bleeding during my bowel movements during my pregnancy and it wasn't a miscarriage situation but a polyp on my uterus that was causing blood to be expelled during my bowel movements which was clotted and looked like tissue. After the removal of the polyp I had no my vaginal bleeding during my pregnancy until labor.
