Forty-nine randomly selected women who received hysterectomy for reasons other than cancer were studied preoperatively with systematic interviews and record reviews, and were diagnosed using the explicit criteria of Feighner, et al. Fifty-seven percent were found to be psychiatrically ill, with 27% suffering from hysteria (Briquet's Syndrome), and 18% from primary depression. Recently some investigators have attributed a "post-hysterectomy syndrome" characterized by multiple psychologic and somatic symptoms to the surgery itself. However, a high pre-operative prevalence of psychiatric illness, particularly hysteria, must be considered when evaluating symptoms in a post-hysterectomy population.
四十九名因非癌症原因接受子宫切除术的随机选取女性，术前接受了系统访谈和记录审查，并根据费伊纳等人的明确标准进行诊断。结果发现，57%的女性患有精神疾病，其中27%患有癔症（布里凯综合征），18%患有原发性抑郁症。最近，一些研究人员将一种以多种心理和躯体症状为特征的“子宫切除术后综合征”归因于手术本身。然而，在评估子宫切除术后人群的症状时，必须考虑到术前精神疾病，尤其是癔症的高患病率。
