Posted on Thu, 18 May 2017

Question: Is there a reason not to have your uterus removed after the age of 70? YYYY@YYYY

I have uteran prolapse

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (49 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
The uterus can be removed without any consequences at 70years.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed this information fully. The uterus is mainly for carrying babies. At 70years of age, there is no further major function left. If there is an illness that requires the uterus to be removed, there is really no reason to be worried about its removal.

Uterine prolapse is a justified reason for the uterus to be removed. There are no consequences to this. Certainly, it will make you healthier. I highly recommend that you consider accepting this procedure to help you regain great health.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and a safe procedure. feel free to follow up with me if need be.
