Can you get cysts after a total hysterectomy?
No, as an oophorectomy removes the ovary you cannot get an ovarian cyst. However, this is only the case if both ovaries are removed.
Can you get pregnant after having a hysterectomy an you just have your ovaries?
highly unlikely (Ectopic pregnancy) but your vagina andtubes are probably closed.
What is a partial hysterectomy?
Total hysterectomy is complete removal of you fallopian tubes,ovaries and uterus. We call it total abdominal hysterectomy,oopherectomy and salphingectomy. Technically a Total Hysterectomy is the removal of uterus and cervix. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oopherectomy is the removal of uterus,cervix,fallopian tubes and ovaries
Had a hysterectomy years ago now having symptoms of menopause?
If you just had your uterus and cervix removed your ovaries will still be functioning and you will still go through the menopause. The average age being 51.7 years. If you had your ovaries removed at the time of the hysterectomy then you would have gone into immediate surgical menopause at that time.
What is removed during a partial hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy = uterus. Total hysterectomy = uterus and cervix. Salpingo = fallopian tube. oopherectomy = ovary. Therefore just a hysterectomy would be removal of uterus alone and a Total hysterectomy with salpingo oopherectomy (bilateral) is everything.
Do women who have had hysterectomys go through menopause?
horomonal changes No however she mayhave some of the symptoms due to changed hormone levels. Answer A radical hysterectomy will cause menopause to occur in a pre-menopausal patient. By definition, menopause is the cessation of menstruation. That it is caused by the natural decrease in hormones or by the surgical removal of the ovaries is irrelevant.
Do you ovulate after a partial hysterectomy?
No because a hysterectomy is the process of removing the uterus. The baby would have nowhere to live or grow inside of you. Since the cervix is sealed off when the uterus is removed, there is no passage for sperm and eggs to meet. Pregnancy requires the womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes to be present. The ovaries produce the eggs. If these have been removed during a total hysterectomy, pregnancy would be impossible.If you had a TOTAL hysterectomy, where they removed your ovaries, you will not be producing eggs, so there is nothing for the sperm to fertilize, thus you cannot get pregnant. However, if you had a partial hysterectomy (they just removed your uterus and left at least one ovary), you can still produce eggs. If the cervix tears open, then the eggs could be fertilized, and may attach to either a fallopian tube, or even the wall of the abdomen. However, this is not a viable pregnancy that could be carried to term, and most women would not even realize this occurred, since in most cases, it would dislodge and remove itself from the body. However, in some rare cases, medical intervention may be needed to remove the tubal pregnancy if it does not do so on its own and grows too large, as this is a threat to the mothers life. There is no way a baby can be carried to term after the uterus is removed.No.
Do you get your appendix out with a partial hysterectomy?
I just had a partial hysterectomy with my appendix taken out as well...
If you had a hysterectomy can you still get cancer?
Yes. Cancer can occur in any organ, not just the uterus. Removing the uterus (ie, having a hysterectomy performed) means that the likelihood of developing a uterine cancer (eg, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer) is exceedingly low, but it does not mean that other cancers (eg, lung, colon, breast) cannot develop elsewhere.
What are the main reasons a woman must have her ovaries removed?
A woman would have to have her ovaries removed if there was an infection in her ovaries. An infection in a woman's ovaries can be serious and life threatening. it would be safer to just remove the ovaries.
Can you still have a period after removal of the uterus?
No. A period is caused by the buildup of endometrial tissue within the uterine cavity. Without the uterus, there can be no efflux of tissue and blood, so no period. So long as you still have your ovaries, you will have normal hormones, however. I DISAGREE. I just had a hysterectomy - removal of my uterus only - and I am spotting on the calendar day that I was due for my period. My doctor told me that it is possible that I may spot from time to time as it's difficult to remove every single uterine cell from the abdominal cavity.
What can you take when your ovaries hurt?
Just take a tylenol. I went to my doctor for this and she just said your ovaries hurt because of your period.
