When is a Hysterectomy Considered in Pediatric Patients?
In pediatric patients, a hysterectomy is usually considered only after other treatments have failed. Conditions that might necessitate this surgery include severe and chronic pelvic pain, heavy or abnormal uterine bleeding that doesn't respond to other treatments, and certain cancers. It may also be considered in cases of congenital anomalies of the reproductive tract or severe infections that are unresponsive to other treatments.
