Heart Risks After a Hysterectomy: What You Should Know - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- Hysterectomy is often performed for various gynecologic conditions, yet research shows it significantly alters long-term cardiovascular health, especially when done before age 50 or with ovary removal
- Data from the Nurses' Health Studies show hysterectomy raises the risk of heart disease and stroke, even with estrogen therapy, particularly for women undergoing surgery before menopause
- A major Korean study confirmed that hysterectomy increases stroke risk across all surgical types, suggesting the uterus itself plays a protective role in cardiovascular health, independent of hormone status
- Hysterectomy may eventually lead to unopposed estrogen activity. Even with normal blood estrogen levels, tissue-level estrogen remains active, which gradually impairs mitochondrial function, metabolism, and overall health
- Take control of your hormonal balance post-hysterectomy by avoiding vegetable oils, limiting exposure to endocrine disruptors, and considering natural progesterone to counter unopposed estrogen activity
