Methods of partial hysterectomy:
● Laparotomy Partial hysterectomy: Means removing the body of the uterus leaving the cervix through the abdomen.
● Partial hysterectomy: Using instruments inserted into the abdomen through puncture holes in the abdominal wall to perform hysterectomy, leaving the cervix. The current laparoscopic hysterectomy is a method with many advantages compared to the classical hysterectomy method. Patients will avoid incision pain, reduce hospital stay, recovery and reduce the rate of infection as well as complications of intestinal obstruction. However, to effectively apply this method requires the necessary equipment and skilled surgeons.

This is a concern of many women before undergoing a partial hysterectomy. The body of the uterus is the place where the fetus resides and develops, so once the uterus is removed, whether it is a complete or partial hysterectomy, the patient can no longer become pregnant. Therefore, before deciding to have a hysterectomy, the patient needs to see a specialist doctor to have the best treatment plan.

Can you get pregnant after partial hysterectomy?

Can you get pregnant after a hysterectomy if you still have your ovaries?

In women who have undergone a hysterectomy, the womb is unavailable for the embryo to anchor. Therefore, a woman cannot have a baby even if the fallopian tubes and ovaries are not removed during a hysterectomy.

Do you still ovulate after a partial hysterectomy?

Removing only your uterus will not send you into menopause. You will still ovulate, but you will not have a menstrual period or be able to become pregnant. If your ovaries are removed as well, you will no longer ovulate and will be in menopause.

What happens to your eggs after a partial hysterectomy?

What happens to your eggs? If your ovaries are left in place after your hysterectomy, they'll continue to function as usual. This means they'll continue to release hormones and eggs, although you might have a slight decrease in hormone production.
