A member asked:
Would a doctor perform a hysterectomy without a medical cause (e.g. if the patient requested it)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the doctor is comfortable in doing so AND the patient understands the risks/benefits/alternatives. But they aren't obligated to do so if a patient asks them to do it even if the patient completely makes sense and understands
