Abstract
Hysterectomy, performed in reproductive age, undoubtedly causes a decrease in all parameters of quality of life and contributes to the development of imbalance of hormonal homeostasis, psycho-emotional, vegetative-neurotic symptoms, increasing sexual and urogenital dysfunction, impeding psycho-social adaptation in the family,the professional and intellectual spheres of a woman’s life. This aspect is often overlooked by surgeons when evaluating the effectiveness of treatment, although it has a significant impact on recovery from surgery. The article presents data on experimental psychological research, evaluation of the severity of urogenital dysfunction using a standardized POP-Q system, characteristics of quality of life parameters both at the stage of preoperative observation and within 1, 3 and 5 years after surgery in 80 women of reproductive age with uterine fibroids who have undergone vaginal hysterectomy. The comparison group included 60 patients with hysterectomy performed by abdominal access. According to the results of this study, in women of reproductive age after radical surgery for fibroids, it was determined that the leading violations of quality of life after hysterectomy are general somatic symptoms, psycho-emotional disorders, genitourinary and sexual disorders. Radical operations for uterine fibroids cause an increase in the proportion of urogenital disorders, among which the most important are urinary incontinence and prolapse, the clinical manifestations of which have a negative impact on, including the psychosocial sphere, while reducing quality of life. Today there is no consensus on the degree of impact of radical surgery for uterine fibroids on the versatility of metabolic and hormonal homeostasis, the formation of psychovegetative symptom complex, and as a consequence, the impact on quality of life, which necessitates a validated method of quality of life optimization of the rehabilitation program with personalized consideration of the leading factors of status comorbidity when planning surgical treatment. Keywords: uterine fibroids, hysterectomy, quality of life parameters.
