In rare cases, inordinate bleeding may bear blood transfusion or fresh surgical intervention.

Here are some common risks and complications that can occur with a hysterectomy: Bleeding: Bleeding during or after the surgery is possible, and in some cases, it may require blood transfusion or additional surgical intervention. Infection: Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection. You may be prescribed antibiotics before and after the surgery to minimize this risk. Adverse reaction to anesthesia: Anesthesia carries its own set of risks, including allergic reactions and breathing difficulties. However, these complications are relatively rare. Damage to surrounding organs or structures: There is a small risk of damage to nearby structures during the surgery, such as the bladder, ureters (tubes connecting kidneys and bladder), or intestines. Such injuries may require additional surgical repair. Blood clots: Hysterectomy increases the risk of developing blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Medications or special stockings may be used to prevent blood clot formation. Urinary problems: Some women may experience urinary difficulties after a hysterectomy, such as urinary incontinence (leakage) or difficulty emptying the bladder completely. Changes in se-xual function: Hysterectomy may affect se-xual function for some women, including reduced libido or changes in orgasmic sensation. These effects can vary from person to person. Menopause-related symptoms: If the ovaries are removed during the hysterectomy (oophorectomy), you may experience immediate menopause and its associated symptoms, such as flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. |
