Abstract

A prospective observation study on hysterectomy: Causes, Procedures, Types, and Association with Hemoglobin Levels, Self-Health Education, and Blood Groups among 70 Patients in bhadradri kothagudem. The study highlights the characteristics of patients undergoing hysterectomy in Kothagudem, including the impact of selfhealth education on patient outcomes and the relationship between hemoglobin levels, blood groups, and hysterectomy. This study provides valuable insights into hysterectomy trends and outcomes in Kothagudem, emphasizing the importance of self-health education and consideration of hemoglobin levels and blood groups in patient care. Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is one of the most frequently performed non-obstetric surgeries globally, second only to cesarean section. It is often accompanied by prophylactic oophorectomy—removal of the ovaries—to lower the risk of ovarian cancer. The most common reasons for hysterectomy are non-malignant gynecological conditions such as uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, and prolapse. While hysterectomy can provide substantial relief from distressing gynecological symptoms, especially when combined with oophorectomy, it also carries significant physical and psychological consequences. On the positive side, the procedure can reduce chronic pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, which has been associated with lower anxiety and depression levels and improved quality of life within 6 to 12 months post- surgery. The removal of ovaries further increases susceptibility to osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality. Our study of 70 hysterectomy patients found that women aged 41-50 were most common, with uterine fibroids being the primary indication. Laparoscopic hysterectomy with BSO was frequently performed. Patients mostly had secondary education and reported good health.
