4.1.2 Hysterectomy and risk of other cardiovascular diseases
In relationship between hysterectomy and CVD, we found a 16% increased
risk. And a 18% increase was found in risk of CVD in women who have
hysterectomy without oophorectomy compared to people without
hysterectomy.
Statistical significances were found in the relationship between
hysterectomy and risk of hypertension, hysterectomy with oophorectomy
and hypertension, hysterectomy with ovarian preservation and
hypertension.
And in our research, it showed hysterectomy, whether with oophorectomy
or not, did not influence the risk of stroke. Our result was consistent
with other studies.10, 27, 40, 41 There was evidence
that hysterectomy was associated with increased risk of CAD but not of
stroke were restricted among women who did not have hysterectomy and
oophorectomy simultaneously.10 Because lacking of data
about the time of oophorectomy relative to hysterectomy, we did not do
the further exploration.
