"Should I get my uterus removed?"

Women with long-standing irregular periods, hormonal imbalance, or PCOS often feel frustrated when symptoms return after stopping medication. However, removing the uterus is usually not the solution.

According to Dr. Vasundara Cheepurupalli, irregular periods that occur only with medication may indicate a significant hormonal imbalance and require long-term management rather than discontinuing treatment midway.

PCOS is now recognized as a broader metabolic condition that can be influenced by factors such as weight, blood sugar levels, and hormonal health. Regular medical follow-up, lifestyle modification, exercise, and a balanced diet play a crucial role in controlling symptoms.

While medications may be necessary, sustainable improvement comes from combining treatment with healthy lifestyle changes. Before considering major surgical options, it is important to identify and address the underlying cause.
