Pages 133-144 | Published online: 23 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

One of the most common surgical procedures in the United States today is the hysterectomy. Although many women have experienced symptoms that can interfere significantly with day-today functioning, they may hesitate to have surgery because of concerns about trading one set of problems for another. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the difference in a woman's quality of life after having a hysterectomy, including the incidence of depression and the effect of social support.
