 Posted: 11/14/06 - 00:00 Post subject: Abdominal Hysterectomy due to precancerous cells |
  |
|
They find precancerous cells in my wife and suggested abdominal hysterectomy. I don’t understand her condition. They said that there is a risk of cervical cancer. She doesn’t have cancer so why does she need hysterectomy, although I am aware that these cells can became cancerous one day. Anyway this is so confusing. I would like some explanation.

Well, I am not a doctor but I hope this will help you to understand. A hysterectomy is an elective procedure and the operation is done to improve the quality of life: to relieve pain, heavy bleeding or other chronic conditions and discomfort. Abdominal hysterectomy is usually suggested to save lives, to correct serious problems that interfere with normal functions or to improve the quality of life. The thing is that changes may occur in some cervical cells are not cancerous. These precancerous cells can become cancerous. This may take years, but eventually the abnormal cells start to grow uncontrollably into the deeper layers of the cervix, becoming an invasive cervical cancer. And cervical cancer used to be one of the most common causes of cancer death among American women.
