ABSTRACT
Introduction: Gynecologic disorders are the most common health problems among women. If drug treatments lead to fail, hysterectomy was considered
Objective: Determine and compare the women's quality of life before and three months after hysterectomies
Materials and Methods: According to chronic disorders [diabetes mellitus, cardio-vascular diseases] fifty five women were selected. Subjects were selected upon a pilot study and by consecutive non-probability sampling. Data were collected by a predetermined questioner; and processed and analyzed with SPSS. Chi- square and t test were used for analyzing accordingly
Results: There was statistically different between mean scores of general health quality before and after hysterectomies [P<0/0001] but its depression component had no different. General disorders and clinical symptoms were different with different statistically degrees. [p=0.0005 for urinary incontinence to p=0.023 for urinary urgency]. Pelvic pain [p=0.056] and vertigo [p=0.21] showed no statistical differences
Conclusions: After hysterectomy total health quality scores statistically improved but anxiety score showed less, and depression score showed no statistical difference. In order to more generalizing findings, recommended carrying out a larger study with benign and malign disorders separately
