"Excerpt: About 40% of hysterectomies are performed due to fibroids.
Endometriosis, a condition in which uterine tissue grows outside of
the uterus, accounts for others. Heavy bleeding, a uterine prolapse
(when the organ slips out of place), a caution against cancer, birth
control, and, for trans men, sexual reassignment surgery, are all
among other reasons for hysterectomies."
