Hysterectomy linked to cardiovascular disease | Reuters

Hysterectomy linked to cardiovascular disease | Reuters: "Women who have their uterus removed for reasons other than cancer may be at a greater risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, suggests a large new study.

The risk appears to rise even higher for women who also have both ovaries removed. However, the Swedish researchers stop short of saying that taking out either the uterus or the ovaries can actually cause cardiovascular disease."
