Here is an interesting shot of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus following a procedure called hysterectomy.
Hysterectomy is an operation to remove a woman's uterus. hysterectomy can be done for different reasons, including: Uterine fibroids that cause pain, bleeding, or other problems. Uterine prolapse, which is a sliding of the uterus from its normal position into the vaginal canal.
A child would only have a complete hysterectomy with oophorectomy under very rare circumstances (as bilateral oophorectomy leads to instantaneous menopause and the child would need to be on hormone therapy for the rest of their life). Uteruses are a lot smaller than we often think when they don’t carry a fetus, so this is an adult uterus.
