What is the meaning of the uterus to a woman?
Famous female writers commit suicide on the eve of preparing to undergo hysterectomy, leaving countless question marks for the world. If we can understand her feelings before surgery, can we see a wonderful psychological journey - "A woman who lost her uterus"?
The most beautiful depiction of the uterus appears in the manuscript of the Renaissance master, Leonardo da Vinci. The opened uterus contains a full-term fetus, so the meaning of the uterus is "the palace of the child".
However, in the opinion of doctors, the presence of the uterus is not so necessary for women who have already completed their fertility plan or have already ceased menstruation. Therefore, when tumors or other lesions appear in the uterus, retaining the uterus is no longer considered.
In fact, there are benefits to having the uterus removed at the appropriate time. Chris Buddhism from the University of California conducted a study on 10000 women over the age of 45 who underwent surgery for bilateral ovarian tumors. In the group of women who underwent hysterectomy at the same time, they lived an average of 0.026 to 0.071 years longer than those who did not undergo hysterectomy, and saved 30000 to 50000 yuan in medical expenses. Because hysterectomy reduces the chance of developing endometrial cancer, uterine malignant sarcoma, and cervical cancer.
However, psychologically, some women may feel as if losing their uterus means they are no longer a complete woman, and even their husband may refuse to have sex on this grounds. This is all due to a misconception about the physiological structure of women. In fact, the main site of female sexual activity is in the vagina. According to foreign statistics, only 6% of patients have their sexual life affected after hysterectomy, and this 6% of patients is due to cervical cancer requiring the removal of a small section of the vagina, which shortens the vagina. So, women who lose their uterus do not lose the joy and dignity of being women, they can also have a perfect sexual life!
The uterus is truly precious, and the price of health is even higher. If it is for the sake of life, the uterus can be discarded.
