Question 2

Papsmears , hysterec: After a partial hysterectomy when the uterus is removed ; the neck of the uterus (cervix) remains u will need to  continue pap smears. After a total hysterectomy  when both the uterus and cervix are removed for a cancerous or precancerous condition, regular pap smears remain important. U can stop having pap smears, after a total hysterectomy for non cancerous condition. If u have lgsil, follow up.

Question 4

will a woman that has had a hysterectomy still produce eggs?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Assuming that the ovaries were not removed. Until menopause a women, barring pcos, hyperprolactinemia, will continue to ovulate.
It is even possible to have eggs fertilized, which can be implanted in another woman's uterus.

Question 5

can i have bleeding after having hysterectomy leaving cervix in?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the cervix was left in, there can still be a small amount of uterine tissue remaining.  Its possible to have some bleeding.  If you still have your ovaries, the bleeding can be cyclic just like your period used to be.  It can be a bummer if you were expecting to be period-free.

Yes you can: An infertility specialist can help.  It will be expensive but it is possible.

Question 8

i'm 48, had partial hysterectomy, interested to have my eggs harvested. possible? chances of the eggs/baby being healthy? i'm looking for surrogate

Accepted Answer

Low: At 48, your ovaries are still functioning, but the chances of a baby are low.  Risk of trisomy 21 is 1:8, risk of trisomy 18 1:33, and risk of any chromosomal abnl is 1:5.  I would be weary, though, of a rei doctor that was willing to do so.  Consultation with a board certified rei doctor should be first step.

Question 9

how are eggs retreived from a woman who had a total hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Just the same: A hysterectomy does not make retrieving a woman's eggs more difficult. A needle is inserted through the top of the vagina, while watching with ultrasound, and into a woman's ovaries, and the eggs retrieved through the hollow needle. (amazing, isn't it?!).

Question 10

i have ed and my wife tightens up so much when she's excited that i can't penetrate. she has hysterectomy and no cervix. is that part of the problem?

Accepted Answer

No: Vaginismus is when the  vagina contracts so tightly involuntarily that very little will penetrate the opening as it is made up of a muscle. Lubrication, counseling, and relaxation exercises can all be beneficial.
