As we mentioned in earlier articles at the last stage of the menstrual cycle, a layer of endometriosis in the uterus known as menstrual blood is usually expelled, but instead some endometriosis tissue grows somewhere in the body and causes endometriosis. Endometriosis also responds to hormonal signals from the monthly menstrual cycle, producing, breaking down and shedding tissue during menstruation. Sometimes, when the disease progresses with a quick side, your doctor may suggest certain types of hysterectomy. In this article we will discuss the types of hysterectomy.
I. Definition
Hysterectomy is a gynecologist’s operation to remove the uterus. Sometimes the fallopian tubes and cervix were removed if other abnormalities were found during the operation. If the uterus is removed, women cannot have children. It also causes hormonal imbalance, so surgery is usually only recommended for some specific circumstances, such as: B. cancer, a severe case of uterine endometriosis.
II. Types of hysterectomy
There are 4 types of hysterectomy:
- Subtotal – This type of hysterectomy removes the uterus but leaves the cervix intact. With this type of surgery, the risk of continuous menstrual bleeding after surgery is high.
- The total hysterectomy is more complex and takes longer. This type of hysterectomy removes both the uterus and the cervix. The study shows that women who have had a total hysterectomy after surgery have fewer urinary or bowel problems. Most women who have a hysterectomy have a total hysterectomy.
- Simple – A simple hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus just a medical procedure. This type increases the risk of the same problem as with subtotal hysterectomy.
- Radical – During a radical hysterectomy, the uterus, cervix, upper third of the vagina, supporting tissue and pelvic lymph nodes are removed. This type of surgery is usually done in the treatment of pelvic cancer.
