Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the womb (uterus). You’ll no longer be able to get pregnant after the operation. If you have not already gone through the menopause, you’ll no longer have periods, regardless of your age. It’s more common for women aged 40 to 50.
Detailed explanation-2: -During a total hysterectomy, your womb and cervix (neck of the womb) is removed. A total hysterectomy is usually the preferred option over a subtotal hysterectomy, as removing the cervix means there’s no risk of you developing cervical cancer at a later date.
