Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) proved to have long-term risk. Mentioned in the study of women who perform (hysterectomy) are at greater risk of heart disease and other health problems.
"Hysterectomy is the second most common gynecological surgery, and most of it is done for benign bone tumor reasons because most doctors believe that this operation has minimal long-term risk," said lead researcher Dr Shannon Laughlin-Tommaso, from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Laughlin-Tommaso described the side effects of hysterectomy known after the team tracked the health of nearly 2,100 women who underwent hysterectomies in 1980 and 2002, including the case of an unopened ovary. Because of its retrospective nature, this study can only refer to associations and can not prove cause and effect.
Mayo's team reports that there are various effects of hysterectomy on health, that is, 14 percent increase in abnormal blood, the risk of high blood pressure increases by 13 percent, the potential for obesity by as much as 18 percent and increases the risk of heart disease by 33 percent.
In addition from the same page mentioned also that the researchers also said that long-term health problems hysterectomy is felt for young women.
The study found that women under 35 who underwent a hysterectomy process were at risk for congestive heart failure up to 4.6 times and 2.5 times more likely to develop coronary artery disease in a report entitled "Hysterectomy May Have Long-Term Health Risks" this.
"While women are increasingly aware that removing their ovaries poses a health risk, this study shows that hysterectomy itself has risks, especially for women undergoing hysterectomy before age 35," Laughlin-Tommaso said.
Laughlin-Tommaso said with these side effects, he hoped the results of this study could be a consideration for women choosing treatment methods related to uterine problems.
"With the results of this study, we encourage people to consider nonsurgical alternative therapies for fibroids, endometriosis, and prolapse that cause the cause of hysterectomy," he said.
The study found that women under 35 who underwent a hysterectomy process were at risk for congestive heart failure up to 4.6 times and 2.5-fold.
Responding to the results of research conducted by Mayo Clinic, Dr Adi Davidov slightly criticized the results of the study. Because, Mayo's study only uses retrospective data, so it can not be proved that factors other than hysterectomy cause women's health problems.
"I would urge patients to come to this conclusion with a grain of salt. It is important to note that this latest study is not a randomized experimental experiment," said Davidov
Davidov also requested that women not cancel the hysterectomy that has been scheduled based on this study. However, he suggested that women first explore non-surgical treatment methods before applying hysterectomy.
"Surgery should always be a solution for last resort," Davidov said. The research were published Jan. 3 in the journal Menopause.
