Do you know 1 in 3 women will have a hysterectomy by age 60? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 11.7 percent of women between the ages of 40-44 had a hysterectomy during the surveillance period 2006-2010. Moreover, about 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the United States. Approximately 20 million American women have had a hysterectomy.
Why are Hysterectomies often performed?
- Uterine fibroids — common, benign (noncancerous) tumors that grow in the muscle of the uterus.
- More hysterectomies are done because of fibroids than any other problem of the uterus.
- Sometimes fibroids cause heavy bleeding or pain.
It is a devastating procedure which removes the hope of motherhood and want to have a healthy monthly period. Often these result from the misuse of tampons and the overuse of poorly produced sanitary napkins. A potential solution to lower the risk of hysterectomy is using organic sanitary napkins.
