Hysterectomy in the United States, 2000–2004 Data from the CDC
Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States. Hysterectomy is the second most frequent major
surgical procedure among reproductive-aged women.
From 2000 through 2004, an estimated 3.1 million U.S. women had a hysterectomy.
The hysterectomy rate decreased slightly from 5.4 per 1,000 in 2000 to 5.1 per 1,000 in 2004.
From 2000 through 2004, rates of hysterectomy differed by age.
Overall rates were highest among women aged 40–44 years and lowest among women aged 15–24 years.
Hysterectomy rates among women aged 50–54 years decreased significantly over the study period, from 8.9 per 1,000 in 2000 to 6.7
per 1,000 in 2004.
Hysterectomy rates also differed by geographic region.
The overall rate during the study period was highest for women living in the South (6.3 per 1,000) and lowest for those in the
Northeast (4.3 per 1,000).
Hysterectomy rates in the Northeast decreased significantly from 4.9 per 1,000 in 2000 to 3.7 per 1,000 in 2004.
