It can take up to 2 hours to do a hysterectomy procedure but some can be done in as little as one hour.
No, you can't get pelvic inflammatory disease if you had a hysterectomy. After hysterectomy, whether or not your cervix is still in place, it isn't possible for germs to ascend from the vagina into the pelvis.
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.
Tell him the hysterectomy has not changed your vagina.
No. A supracervical hysterectomy is the basic operation as it leaves the cervix in place. The uterus/womb is removed and therefore there is no place for an egg to be fertilised. Youe will still need to have smear/pap tests as you will still be at risk of cervical cancer
I'm going to have a hysterectomy and would like to know what is the most common medication they send home. I had a complete hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and the only medication i came home with was pain medication. I do take a multivitamin everyday though.
Same place as before. A hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus (the womb) which is quite a ways inside the body. The urethra (urine duct) is located just at the opening of the vagina and won't be affected.
You cannot get pregnant after a complete hysterectomy.
Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy does not affect the time a spermatozoa will live apart from the fact they have no place to swim to as no womb to penetrate and cannot fertilise the eggs Some die immediately some will last longer.
A hysterectomy that is done at the time of a c-section.
Total hysterectomy not elsewhere classified.
