Recovery is much faster if these operations are done through the laparoscope. With a hysterectomy, however, much of the healing required is in the tissues around the uterus. So although recovery is faster when an incision is avoided, the difference is not as great as it is with some other operations. Hysterectomy causes depression. There is no question that some women are depressed after hysterectomy.
Many women are also depressed before hysterectomy.
Obviously, asking a group of women who have had a hysterectomy if they are depressed would give us no information about whether the hysterectomy caused the depression. This is a difficult problem to evaluate, and proper study design is crucial if we are to get valid information. You are welcome to disagree with the statements, but please review all of the source material first. Also, I am not a psychiatrist, and will not begin to claim to be an expert in depression. Early studies claiming that hysterectomy causes depression were of poor design, and seriously flawed.
