A hysterectomy only removes the uterus and cervix. The ovaries remain in place, still prone to cysts.*
* The only way to prevent this would be an oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries). Unfortunately, this causes the immediate onset of menopause, and is the reason that it isn't done as a matter of course.
No, as an oophorectomy removes the ovary you cannot get an ovarian cyst. However, this is only the case if both ovaries are removed.
No. hysterectomy only removes uterus. The ovaries produce the ova (eggs) so unless you have a bilateral (both) oopherectomy you will still ovulate.
Yes, it is possible to have an ectopic pregnancy after a vaginal hysterectomy if one or both ovaries are still present.
Not unless you have both ovaries removed (oopherectomy)
no but sometimes i do
Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is removal of uterus and cervix. If fallopian tubes and ovaries removed as well this is a salpingo oopherectomy (bilateral = both- unilateral one). So a total hysterectomy with salpingo oopherectomy is the uterus,cervix,fallopian tubes and ovaries
Not entirely unless you have your ovaries removed. Hysterectomy is only the removal of the uterus so the body will still produce ova which will be absorbed and there will be no menses after a hysterectomy.
There are several types of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is uterus and cervix. Additionally the fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oopherectomy) may be removed so, a total hysterectomy with unilateral(one) or bilateral (both) salpingo oopherectomy would be all the reproductive organs apart from the vagina. Radical hysterectomy also removes lymph nodes when cancer has spread beyond the fallopian tubes.
Tes. Menopause is caused by the faling of the ovaries as one ages. A hysterectomy is only removal of womb so unless you have had a bilateral oopherectomy (removal of both ovaries) you will go through the natural menopause.
A hysterectomy is an operation to remove your womb. YEA... NADINE IS AWSOME.. SHE ANSWERED ANOTHER QUESTIONN.... WOOO HOOOOO A hysterectomy is an operation to remove your womb. YEA... NADINE IS AWSOME.. SHE ANSWERED ANOTHER QUESTIONN.... WOOO HOOOOO
No. In a total hysterectomy both ovaries are removed meaning that the body will not be able to produce any level of estrogen or progesterone
Hysterectomy is removal of your uterus. Ooectomy is removal of your ovaries. If your ovaries were left when they did the hysterectomy (quite common these days), yes, you can still produce fertile eggs, no problem. If your uterus is gone, though, there's nowhere for the eggs to go. If you still have fallopian tubes, you'd still be at risk for ectopic pregnancy.
