Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy uterus ovaries
hysterectomy
Normally a partial hysterectomy is removing the uterus but leaving the ovaries for hormonal purposes. There is no way someone without a uterus could get pregnant. But have her check with her doctor.
By "partial hysterectomy" are you saying your uterus is removed but not your ovaries? The definition of menopause is that your periods are gone and have been gone for a year. But if your uterus is removed, you would not have periods.
But I think that what you are asking is whether your ovaries will stop functioning and stop making estrogen and whatever else and you will begin to have menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and dry skin.
Depends on the reason for a hysterectomy. The ovaries are usually left because it delays menopause but if cancer is involved then ovaries will also be removed.
There is no such thing as an artificial uterus implant. There any such thing as an artificial uterus. By complete hysterectomy, I take it you also mean your ovaries are gone. Losing the ovaries and the uterus pretty much takes away IVF with someone else's eggs (because you have no uterus) and IVF from you to surrogate (because you have no ovaries).
Some doctors call a hysterectomy just removal of the uterus. For my full debulking hysterectomy I had my uterus, cervix, both ovaries, both fallopian tubes and full omentum apron and my appendix...
Did you have your ovaries removed? If you did you could have remnant ovarie tissue that has cysts.. you need to ask more questions... I hope you find the answers...
In your shoes (and this really is just my thoughts, not any kind of strong recommendation) I would go ahead and take the uterus if the ovaries are going. If the issue were reversed, I would resist losing the ovaries just because the uterus had to go, but that is because the ovaries are producing hormones (in my belief, even a little hormone trail after menopause). But if my ovaries were going, I wouldn't care much about keeping the uterus.
I know this is responding to an old post, but I noticed someone said no PMS symptoms after hysterectomy. That is not true at all. Although the symptoms are very different. If one still has two functioning ovaries you will still face the (EMOTIONS, CRAVINGS, HEADACHES, SORE BOOBS ETC). I had a hysterectomy a bit over 6 months ago. For the first 3 months after the hysterectomy I was fine (but I didn't realize my ovaries had been asleep I guess). Oh did they wake up!!
Has anyone had there ovaries removed with there hysterectomy? If so, how do you feel emotionally with menopause and do you know how long menopause lasts?
I have a fibroid about the size of a grapefruit on my uterus and at least 2 smaller ones. My doctor was going to try the procedure wherein they go in and cut off the blood supply to the fibroid when she thought it was just one. Now that she has learned through an ultrasound that there are multiple fibroids, she said that procedure is not an option as it would basically cut off the blood supply to the uterus if they did that for each fibroid.
No you cannot get pregnant after a hysterectomy. You have to have a uterus to carry a baby and a hysterectomy removes the uterus. There are other pricedures that remove just the ovaries that you can get pregnant after but not a hysterectomy.
A 'partial hysterectomy' usually refers to removing the uterus and not the ovaries. Is that what you had?
It takes a uterus to carry a baby. [If you still have your ovaries, your eggs and your husband's sperm could be used to create an embryo by in-vitro fertilization, which could be carried by a gestational carrier ("surrogate mother") to term for you.
Had a hysterectomy have my ovaries I really want a baby can I get help to do this ,my voilent ex made my choice for me bout havin the hysterectomy , I'm now out of that relationship and have a lovin partner ,I really want a baby with him , can I get help to do this and how do I go about doing it plz
If you had a full hysterectomy, they take out your uterus so you wouldn't be able to carry a baby yourself.
Not that i have heard. a hysterectomy causes early menopause which could give u pregnancy symptoms.
A total hysterectomy removes the entire uterus. It is the ovaries that are most critical for sexual function because they control hormones. If they were going to remove the tubes and ovaries it would be total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
Many conditions can be treated with less invasive procedures than hysterectomy these days. A second opinion may be in order.
) The dr wants to me to have a hysterectomy and also remove my ovaries, not sure about the cervix. I only want the fibroids removed from my uterus. He says that because of my age I do not need my uterus and for cancer prevention I should have it removed as well as my ovaries. My husband and I have an amazing sex life and I do not want the jeopordized because of the removal of my ovaries. That really scares me.
The recommendation is that the ovaries and tubes be removed and I have the option to have a full hysterectomy as well (biopsy showed nothing). 7 years ago I had a cyst removed from one breast that showed atypical hyperplasia in the breast ducts. I took Tamoxifen for a year, then had a 'period' which lead to a pelvic ultrasound, leading to the ovary surgery.
My surgeon is a specialist in endo, so should I trust her? she wants to keep both ovaries but remove the uterus. if i keep ovaries wont i keep ovulating and it keep hurting? she said my tubes are clogged up with old blood too which is what might be causing alot of the pain. maybe i should just have my cysts removed?
Hi AnitL,
I had a hysterectomy and removal of my ovaries in Jan of 2008. I sincerely wish I could have left at least one ovary. My maternal Grandmother died from ovarian cancer. Even knowing that I wish saving my ovaries had been possible. IMHO if your ovaries are healthy keep them! It has taken quite a while to start to feel like myself again. I do use an estrogen patch.
Have you read Screaming to be Heard by Dr. Elizabeth Vliet? I highly recommend it!
I am a 36 year old who had to have a hysterectomy 8 years ago due to uncontrollable bleeding.. partial hysterectomy.. my ovaries, tubes, and part of my uterus are still intact.. cervix is gone.. factory closed.. haha.... recently I have had tremendous pains in the lower left quadrant of my abdomen, and this as of late coincides with bleeding vaginally.. bright red blood, so it's not "old" blood..
It supports the bladder and bowel. Those organs are displaced and no longer have the uterus separating them after hysterectomy. So permanent bladder and bowel problems are common.
Sexual dysfunction after hysterectomy is also common even if the ovaries are not removed. The uterus (which includes the cervix) plays a key role in sexual desire and orgasm.
The uterus is suspended by four sets of ligaments which also serve as the pelvis' support structures.
