– It allows treat ovarian and uterine tumors (in the latter case, the ovaries and uterus are removed during surgery).
– Some pussies may show edema and swelling suddenly of one or multiple breasts. This condition called fibrocystic or Breast fibroadenomatose is under hormonal dependency and appears, most often, in young animals (2 to 3 weeks after the first heat) or in some pussies under contraceptive (contraceptive injection or pill). Sterilization will prevent the onset of this disease if it is practiced before even the first heat and reduce the risk of recurrence if the pussy presented this pathology.
– Finally, ovariectomy limit the risk of mammary tumors (cancer often hormonal in pussy). Knowing that mammary tumors are very common in the pussy (14% of all cancers) and that these tumors are mostly malignant (in 80% cases), sterilization is very strongly recommended.
The age at which the operation is performed affects the subsequent risk of developing breast masses. Thus, before the first heat sterilization (worms 6 month) decreases 91% the risk of mammary tumors. This decrease goes to 86% for some pussy sterilized between its first and second season (between 7 and 12 month), to 11% only between 13 and 24 months and sterilization after two years of the animal has no effect on the risk of developing breast cancer.
