A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It is one of the most common of all surgical procedures. Sometimes only the uterus and cervix are removed; in other cases, called a complete
hysterectomy, the uterus, cervix, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries are all removed. After hysterectomy, a woman no longer menstruates, and she is unable to bear children but no change in sexual functioning or feelings follow a hysterectomy. If the hysterectomy includes removal of both ovaries, however, the woman may experience symptoms of menopause, because the ovaries are a woman's major source of estrogen. Research Hysterectomy
