Pregnancy After Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy means removal of the uterus.

A partial hysterectomy would be removal of part of the uterus, or removal of the uterus with the cervix left intact.

In common usage many people refer to "partial hysterectomy" when they mean that the uterus is removed but the tubes and ovaries are left intact.

As long as the tubes and ovaries remain it is possible to develop a tubal pregnancy after hysterectomy, though it is very rare. It can happen when sperm pass through the cervix or through a gap in the surgical closure and join an egg. The egg can then implant in the tube or within the abdomen.

Such a pregnancy cannot survive. It is a very dangerous situation for the woman. If discovered late it can lead to life threatening internal bleeding.

Can a pregnancy happen with a tubal ligation tied and a partial hysterectomy?

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.


Can you have a tubal ligation if you had a hysterectomy?

It depends on the type of hysterectomy you have had. If you still retained the fallopian tubes then yes you can have them ligated. However, this is normally done to prevent pregnancy and as you have no uterus after the hysterectomy, there does not seem any need for this.

It will depend upon the type of Partial Hysterectomy; sometimes this type of pregnancy is called Ectopic, if your ovaries have been left intact, you can ovulate and the fertilised egg can stay in the Fallopian tubes, this pregnancy is risky and can involve emergency surgeries/deliveries, but again it depends upon what type of Partial Hysterectomy.

In theory, yes. But without an opening to the vagina ... and there shouldn't be one ... there's no way for sperm to reach the egg - so no.

It is possible. In most modern hysterectomies, the ovaries are left inside the body. This equates to a partial hysterectomy. The ovaries can still release their eggs, and it's possible (albeit rare) that a pregnancy can occur.
