Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is an operation where a doctor removes a woman's uterus, which is the part of her body where a baby grows when she is pregnant. Sometimes, doctors also remove other organs like the ovaries and fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy. This surgery is usually done to help women who are having problems with their uterus, like heavy bleeding or pain that doesn't go away. After the surgery, the woman won't be able to have babies anymore, but she will feel better and won't have the problems that were bothering her before.
