As a criminal offence. In common law jurisdictions, as a criminal offence, fraud takes many different forms, some general (e.g., theft by false pretense) and some specific to particular categories of victims or misconduct (e.g., bank fraud, insurance fraud, forgery). The elements of fraud as a crime similarly vary.
Hysterectomy on benign indication may have unwanted long-term effects on pelvic floor function and on the lower urinary tract. Hysterectomy is associated with a significantly increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and pelvic organ fistula disease.
Past studies in which women were interviewed shortly before hysterectomy, and then after the surgery, showed that women's sex life improved after the procedure. This led some researchers to conclude that the surgery had little impact on sex life and might even help it.
