A recent study conducted by the ORCA, a collaboration between the London School of Hygiene and Royal College of Obstetricians indicated that the surgery can be 4 times more affective in women who belong to a few regions compared to those who belong to other regions of the same country, England.

Around 51,456 women who were suffering from heavy bleeding were investigated. Hysterectomy was found in 4 out of 10 women on an average. Surprisingly, this varied with region and the range is in between 25 and 54 percent.

GPs are being seen is one out of every 20 women in England due to this heavy bleeding. There are a variety of effective treatments and the study reveals that it is important to provide evident information before going for irreversible treatments like hysterectomy.

The vice president of RCOG says that there is a treatment that is more conservative but this research highlighted the role that is important in the surgery. Both the risks as well as benefits associated with the surgery must be explained in details to the women who are suffering from bleeding before actually going for the treatment.

This informative research was published in the latest edition of BJOG.
