Rural, illiterate and insured women: The disproportionate rate of hysterectomies
Wednesday, 1 January 2025 ()
A study reveals that rural, illiterate, and obese Indian women with health insurance are more likely to undergo hysterectomy, with agricultural workers being particularly at risk. The procedure is often advised unnecessarily by private practitioners. High prevalence is noted in states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, driven by prolonged excessive bleeding, fibroids, and menstrual taboos.
