Hysterectomy

no more than for any other major surgery. The more weight you carry the greater the risk from general anaesthesia but in life threatening situations then a surgeon will operate as the option for the patient has been taken away.

yes

Yes it can.

No

This would be almost impossible. Although occasionaly tubal ligation can fail as in a vasectomy for men the risk is less than one percent.

If the whole of your uterus has been removed then no you cannot be pregnant as there is nowhere for the fertilised egg to grow.

They should be in the majority of cases. Not doing so may be malpractice of both the phsycian and nurse who should have counted the surgical implements before closing the patient.

No. hysterectomy only removes uterus. The ovaries produce the ova (eggs) so unless you have a bilateral (both) oopherectomy you will still ovulate.

Immediately after you operation you may find that you have to wear pads for a few weeks as there will be some discharge from your vagina which will turn into a grey fluid in time. After all your wounds have healed there should be no discharge.

If you have no history of birth defects in your family, such as Down Syndrome, and your eggs are free of inflictions, then yes, most likely.

Your question indicates significant confusion about the use of Depo Provera. If you have excessive bleeding, you should not look to Depo Provera for a solution. It is not recommended for this purpose. If you are looking to prevent pregnancy, you should not use hysterectomy, as there are safer and less invasive options for this purpose. If you are trying to control endometriosis, removing the uterus alone is not effective. Please contact your health care provider to clarify treatment options for your condition; consider a second opinion as well.

A hysterectomy involves the removal of her uterus which is where a baby is carried for 9 months.

Hysterectomyis the removal of the uterus/womb and as menses is the washing out of the lining of the womb/uterus when no egg has been fertilised iwith no womb there can be no menstruation. If you have retained your ovaries you may still get pre menstrual syndrome.

other organs of the body get into that space

No, only general good nutrition for healing, including a decent amount of protein. Iron supplements if there was much blood loss, which is unlikely. However, if they also removed ovaries you might need hormone replacement. Make sure you eat plenty of fiber and drink lots of fluids to keep stool soft so as to avoid straining. Note also that some pain killers cause constipation (they are in the same family of drugs as Lomotil.)

YES! I had a partial 1 year ago and I can tell you each month when my period will be coming. I have the same exact symptoms I had before the operation. The symptoms appear about 1 week before my period would be due and it is very frustrating to myself and the people around me. We would of liked to of thought that the nastiness would have been done with when they took most of the female parts away but it didn't help one bit. The only thing that was achieved is that now I don't have the bleeding associated with the monthly period, however, I would rather have the bleeding than the horrible symptoms associated with PMS>

Total hysterectomy not elsewhere classified.

The eggs released by your ovaries travel down the fallopian tubes and attach themselves to the lining of the womb waiting to be fertilized by sperm cells. As a hysterectomy removes the uterus (womb), the eggs have nowhere to attach themselves. Also, since the cervix is closed, then the sperm can't get in, thus no pregnancy.

Hysterectomy is the second most common operation performed on women in the United States. About 556,000 of these surgeries are done annually. By age 60, approximately one out of every three American women will have had a hysterectomy.

if your question is regarding cervical cancer then only a total hysterectomy which removes the uterus and cervix would prevent cervical cancer. A hysterectomy leaves the cervix in place.

No, you do not need this after a hysterectomy. Some women have had these put in to aid previous incontinence, but for quite a few women, this has not worked out. You might just have the hysterectomy and consider the other at a later time. Get a second opinion.

On an ultrasound, FL means femoral length.
