Overview

  • Debora Massari underwent an emergency hysterectomy on May 7, 2025, after 40 days of severe uterine bleeding and failed conservative treatments.
  • The operation removed her uterus, fallopian tubes, and cervix but preserved her ovaries, preventing surgical menopause at age 49.
  • Massari describes the operation as a liberating step toward renewed well-being rather than a tragedy, emphasizing her pragmatic approach to health decisions.
  • She has openly shared her experience to encourage dialogue and mutual support among women, aiming to break stigmas around hysterectomies.
  • Massari expressed deep gratitude to the gynecology team at Fondazione Poliambulanza in Brescia, particularly Dr. Antonio Gorio, for their professionalism and care.
