A member asked:

Will having a historectomy cause me to gain weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Most women who have hysterectomies do not end up gaining weight. Often women who have hysterectomies for pain or bleeding find that they can exercise more after their hysterectomy. Studies show women who have hysterectomies for these reasons notice an improvement in the quality of their life.
