Preserve the Uterus

Preserve the Uterus

According to the national family health survey 5 (2019-2021), ~20,000 out of the ~724,115 women surveyed had undergone a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed non-obstetric surgery globally and has serious implications on the physical and mental wellbeing of women who undergo the same. A higher percentage of hysterectomies were performed in Rural vs Urban India (3.6 % vs 2.5%) where women may be expected to do physical work and may not be aware of the impact of such surgeries on their physical and mental wellbeing.

 

Preserve the Uterus was launched as a nationwide campaign in April 2022, by Bayer in collaboration with Federation of Obstetric and gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) and IHW council to empower women with the right information pertaining to Heavy Menstrual Bleeding and enable them to make informed choices about its management. This initiative focusses on capacity building of health care practitioners towards the use of modern methods of management of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding and on strengthening health systems to tackle the rates of unwarranted hysterectomies and to create awareness on the impact of hysterectomies. The need of the hour is to come forward and support the campaign for better health of our women and families.
