Emotional Risks
The uterus plays an important role in pregnancy. Therefore, a hysterectomy will mean that you cannot be a mother anymore. For many people, this could be a hard adjustment. The surgery will make you stop menstruating. But even when you feel relieved, there might be still a sense of loss. Therefore, it is not uncommon to experience conflicting feelings after this procedure. This would lead to depression or anxiety if you have to deal with it alone. To reduce the risk, it is better to seek support from your doctor and family members. [13]
