Long-Term Risks
After a hysterectomy, women will not have periods any more. Also, they cannot get permanent. Both of these are permanent effects. In some cases, organ prolapse could occur and affect the connection of the cervix and uterus. Other organs such as the bladder and bowel would prolapse down to the previous location of the uterus and push on your vagina. This would result in urinary issues. Some pelvic floor or Kegel exercises would be helpful in preventing the condition by strengthening the muscles and supporting internal organs. If the ovaries are removed, symptoms of menopause would last for a few years. Otherwise, you would start menopause earlier than usual. There might be also some long-term risks for your sexual life, such as reduced libido, painful intercourse, or vaginal dryness. [14]
