Can you have childbirth after a hysterectomy?

Answer:

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually performed by a gynecologist.

Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body, fundus, and cervix of the uterus; often called \"complete\") or partial (removal of the uterine body but leaving the cervical stump, also called \"supracervical\").

Removal of the uterus renders the patient unable to bear children and changes her hormonal levels considerably, so the surgery is normally recommended for only a few specific circumstances:

  • === Certain types of reproductive system cancers (uterine, cervical, ovarian) ===
  • === As a prophylactic treatment for those with either a strong family history of reproductive system cancers (especially breast cancer in conjunction with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation) or as part of their recovery from such cancers ===
  • === Severe and intractable endometriosis (overgrowth of the uterine lining) and/or adenomyosis (a more severe form of endometriosis, where the uterine lining has grown into and sometimes through the uterine wall) after pharmaceutical and other non-surgical options have been exhausted ===
  • === Postpartum to remove either a severe case of placenta praevia (a placenta that has either formed over or inside the birth canal) or placenta accreta (a placenta that has grown into and through the wall of the uterus to attach itself to other organs), as well as a last resort in case of excessive postpartum bleeding ===
  • === For transmen, as part of their gender transition ===
  • === For severe developmental disabilities ===

Although hysterectomy is frequently performed for fibroids (benign tumor-like growths inside the uterus itself made up of muscle and connective tissue), conservative options in treatment are available by doctors who are trained and skilled at alternatives.

lol......... so th REALL ANSWER IS \"NO\", IT IS IMPOSSIBLE 4 CHILDBIRTH AFTER A HYSERECTOMY

BUT, though extemely rare, it can happen , if the ovaries are still in place. In these cases the baby has grown within a sac in the abdominal cavity, and delivered by Caesarian.
