Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal)
A hysterectomy is an extremely common surgery performed to remove the uterus. Sometimes the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or cervix will be removed as well. A woman who has had a hysterectomy will no longer have periods and cannot get pregnant.
There are a variety of reasons that women have hysterectomies, including:
It is important to note that having any of these conditions does not necessarily mean that a hysterectomy is necessary. There are other available treatment options in most cases.
Although the uterus is responsible for a period, it is the ovaries that control the hormonal changes that women go through every month. So if a woman has a hysterectomy but keeps her ovaries, she might still experience hormonal swings every month even if she no longer has a period. Alternately, if a younger woman has a hysterectomy where her ovaries as removed, she will essentially be in immediate menopause.
A hysterectomy can be performed traditionally through one large cut in the abdomen, laparoscopically using tiny incisions and small tools, or through the vagina. Full recovery may take four to six weeks. After a hysterectomy, patients might experience sexual changes such as vaginal dryness or a change in libido. It is common to experience strong emotions after a hysterectomy, including both grief and relief. If a patient's ovaries were removed, they may be at higher risk for certain diseases, such as heart disease and osteoporosis. Taking hormonal birth control might reduce this risk.

I put my life on hold to be treated by Dr. Miller, who came with high recommendations. I am writing this so that you do not have to suffer what I went through. Initial exams were repeated even though I had just done the same exact ones at another fertility clinic. No results were ever provided to me. The whole process was drawn out with Dr. Miller offering consultations at 4:30am over the phone because he was otherwise too busy. After 2 months of waiting no treatment was offered. The services were so overpriced my insurance didn't even cover the out-of-network rates. Dr. Miller wasted my fertility time and charged me almost four thousand dollars. Greed is the number one value of this clinic. The most traumatic medical experience I have ever gone through. He got his money and I lost precious time I will never get back. If you want to be respected as a human being, please do not see this doctor.
