After a hysterectomy, the vaginal canal typically remains about 7 to 10 centimeters long, similar to its length before the procedure. The exact length can vary depending on individual anatomy and the type of hysterectomy performed. In a total hysterectomy, the cervix is removed, but the vaginal canal is generally preserved. Factors such as age, hormonal changes, and surgical technique can also influence the overall structure and elasticity of the vaginal canal post-surgery.
Just into the vaginal canal.
Yes, you can have Bacterial Vaginosis after a hysterectomy. Bacterial Vaginosis is a vaginal infection, as you still have a vaginal canal in tact after a hysterectomy you are still at risk of developing vaginal infections like this one.

Much like an anterior & posterior repair but obliterating the vaginal canal instead of just decreasing the caliber. If no prior hysterectomy, lateral "tunnels" are created for cervical drainage.
A vaginal vault is formed when a woman has a hysterectomy. It is the open space that is made after the vagina and cervix are removed.
It depends on whether the procedure is a vaginal hysterectomy or an abdominal hysterectomy - and if it is an abdominal hysterectomy, if it includes unilateral or bilateral salpingectomy, and it is includes unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy.
The canal that leads to the primary internal female reproductive organs is the
Using an XL vaginal speculum doesn't necessarily mean that your vaginal opening is big or that your vaginal canal is long. It simply indicates that a larger speculum is required to properly visualize the cervix. An XL speculum can be used for various reasons, such as to accommodate the anatomy of the individual or for better access during certain procedures.
