Hysterectomy – Purpose, Procedure, Risk & Recovery

Abnormal Bleeding

People with irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding would benefit a lot from a hysterectomy. Some common causes of irregular bleeding include infections, fibroids, cancer, hormone changes, and many other health issues. It could also be followed by stomach pain and cramps. By removing the uterus during a hysterectomy, you would have relief from heavy bleeding in the long term. However, it is better to try some other alternatives first, such as hormone therapy. [4]
