Menstrual bleeding occurs when thickened endometrial tissue (which lines the uterus) breaks up and reverts to being thin, so it's natural to assume that a hysterectomy will completely end periods.

However, as long as there's a functioning ovary there will be a monthly cycle, and if there is any remaining endometrial tissue it will respond normally to hormones. Some hysterectomies are partial and so a portion of the uterus remains. Even when the uterus is fully removed, some endometrial tissue may remain attached to the uterus's side of the cervix, which can cause mini-periods.

Why do you still get a menstrual cycle after tubuligation?

Tubal Ligation is when the fallopian tubes are tied, cut, or blocked somehow to stop them from getting pregnant. This does not stop the menstrual cycle as women still ovulate and the uterus lining still plumps and sheds as it would normally.

Hysterectomy is only the removal of uterus and you therefore can get cervical cancer, you should continue with pap tests. If you mean a total hysterectomy then both uterus and cervix are removed and cervical cancer is eliminated.


How can you not get pregnant by having your period?

Trust me. You can. It is irrelevant when your period comes as some women even continue having periods whilst they are pregnant and there is no damage done to the baby. This is very rare, however, yet is still happens. Ovulation normally occurs in women in around the 14th day of your monthly cylce (usually two weeks after your period and two weeks before the next one). This is when the egg is released and when you're most fertile and therefore most likely to get pregnant. However, some women's egg may be released much more early, such as whilst you are still having your period. This is when women become pregnant.


Why would a woman need a pap spear if they have had a hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy is removal of womb only leaving the cervix in place. Pap smears are done to identify cancerous cells in the cervix so if you still have a cervix you are still at risk of cervical cancer. Women who have a total hysterectomy (removal of uterus and cervix) are unlikely to contract this type of cancer.
