That's where the word "Hysterectomy" came from.

Even though the word comes from the old Greek root "hyster" for womb, we don't call the organ itself by that name, we use "uterus" (from Latin). The name origins from being the primary treatment for hysteria.

Hysteria, itself, was an official diagnosis until 1980, and while there are medically valid reasons for a hysterectomy, the term itself is rooted in misogyny, and some people want to rename the procedure as a result.
