You probably do not know the history of this procedure. It was a major achievement in the United States when doctors stopped performing routine and unnecessary hysterectormies in women of a certain age and parity. You need the uterus to maintain order in the whole pelvic floor area. It is not some optional organ but an integral part of the whole system.

hysterectomy is a common gynecological surgical procedure that can have several long-term risks, including:
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP): A rare risk that occurs when pelvic organs drop into an abnormal position. Hysterectomy can weaken the pelvic floor, increasing the risk of POP. Women with a history of pelvic prolapse or multiple abdominal surgeries may be at higher risk.
Urinary incontinence: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Bowel dysfunction: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Sexual function: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Pelvic organ fistula formation: A long-term effect of hysterectomy on the pelvic floor
Cardiovascular events: A possible association with hysterectomy
Certain cancers: A possible association with hysterectomy
Need for further surgery: A possible association with hysterectomy
Early ovarian failure and menopause: A possible association with hysterectomy
Depression: A possible association with hysterectomy
