This depends on how quickly you heal and this depends on the type of hysterectomy you have had. Abdominal tends to take longer to heal than laproscopic. This is a major operation and you should not take any risks until you are fully healed. For the first two weeks you won't feel like doing anything and it will be about six weeks but get the all clear from your doctor

Had partial hysterectomy but want a baby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possible. In most modern hysterectomies, the ovaries are left inside the body. This equates to a partial hysterectomy. The ovaries can still release their eggs, and it's possible (albeit rare) that a pregnancy can occur.

I had have a hysterectomy and had my tubes tied so can i still get pregnant.?

The chance of this happening is very, very slight. But if you had a partial hysterectomy meaning the lower portion also called the cervix was left intact, and your ovaries were left in place, it is theoretically possible. Very, very unlikely.

If you had a hysterectomy can you donate eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

if you had a hysterectomy and you can donate sperm, I think there are some people that would like to talk to you..... ---- Yes, so long as you have your ovaries and an intact pituitary gland and hypothalamus, you still have functioning ova, so you theoretically could use those for in vitro fertilization for a surrogate mother, if that was your choice.

I'm assuming you mean a male partner will donate the semen.

What is all about Abdominal Hysterectomy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A hysterectomy alone means the removal of the uterus. There are two ways that the surgeon can operate 1. Laparoscopically (key hole) where the uterus is removed by 1 to 4 small incisions in the abdomen to allow the surgical instruments to enter the abdominal cavity. 2. Abdominal is where the surgeon accesses the abdominal cavity by way of a six inch incision in your stomach. Recovery time from abdominal surgery is usually longer and you are left with a larger scar than with laparoscopic surgery.
