Background: This study investigates the clinico-demographic profile of women who underwent hysterectomy, analyzing various factors including the year of surgery, socio-economic status, parity, and post-operative complications. The study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, IMS BHU, in collaboration with the Department of Endocrinology, IMS BHU.
Methods: This prospective study included 200 women aged 18-40 years who had undergone hysterectomy. Data were collected over a period of two years, focusing on parameters such as the distribution of cases based on the year of hysterectomy, socio-economic status, parity, indications for hysterectomy.
Results: The majority of hysterectomies were performed 1-3 years previously (56.5%). Most patients (98.5%) were Hindu, and the majority belonged to the lower middle class (52.5%). The most common indication for hysterectomy was fibroids (42.0%), followed by PV discharge (28.0%) and heavy menstrual bleeding (15.0%).
Conclusion: This study highlights the clinico-demographic profile and outcomes of women undergoing hysterectomy, emphasizing the prevalence of complications such as urinary incontinence and hot flashes. The findings align with previous studies, underscoring the need for comprehensive post-operative care.
