Tanika Valbrun plays with her 4-month-old son, Jasai Kristian Valbru, at home in Lithia Springs. Valbrun was told she needed a hysterectomy but sought an alternative surgery that preserved her ability to have children. (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
Tanika Gray Valbrun walked out of the doctor’s office, the grief slowly starting to suffocate her.
This couldn’t be happening.

The AJC analyzed hysterectomy prevalence using the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the nation’s largest health survey. To obtain the data, reporters queried the CDC’s Web Enabled Analysis Tool for state and national estimates.
The survey is conducted every year, but the question about whether someone has had a hysterectomy is only included in the survey questionnaire in even-numbered years, the latest of which was 2022. The WEAT tool applies the CDC’s weighting methodology to account for survey design, population and differences in age and race. AJC reporters exported the results of the queries, cleaned the tables and calculated comparisons across states and regions, which were defined by the Census Bureau.

Black women like Tanika Valbrun, seen here with her husband James, are more likely to suffer from fibroids, which often run in the family. Valburn says that hysterectomies are so common among her friends and family that they are simply called “the surgery.” (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
