Sumario:Thirty women patients who were hysterectomized for non-malignant pathologies were compared with thirty comparable patients who underwent other gynaecological operations. Each patient was subjected to semistructured psychiatric interview, standardised Hindi version of G.H.Q., Hindi version of PEN, I.P.I.S. and BDRI. The diagnosis was made according to I.C.D. - 9. It was observed that patients undergoing hysterectomy do suffer significantly higher psychiatric morbidity (60%), had higher G.H.Q. and BDRI scores at the time of discharge from hospital.
