Hysterectomy - Complications
Hysterectomy is generally very safe, but with any major surgery comes the risk of complications such as blood clots, infection, excessive bleeding or an adverse reaction to the anesthesia.
Other risks of hysterectomy are:
- Damage to the urinary tract, bladder or rectum during surgery, which may require further surgical repair
- Loss of ovarian function
- Early onset of menopause
