Question 1

will a gyn perform a hysterectomy if you started your menstrual period a couple days prior to your surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It will not matter whether or not you are on your cycle for a hysterectomy.

Question 2

if you get a partial hysterectomy do you still have a period?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Partial hysterectomy, or supracervical  hysterectomy, refers to the removal of the uterus but leaving the cervix. Because the cervix can have some endometrial tissue which produces the tissue that is shed as a period, you could have light bleeding when you would normally have a period. It is usually so light a panty liner is more than enough.

Question 3

can i get a hysterectomy at 20? ive tried every form of birth control i can think of but my periods still last for about a month each time and i only get 1-2 weeks without one. the cramps are so bad i throw up from pain and cant get out of bed?

Accepted Answer

Find out why first: You need to undergo a thorough examination and evaluation by a GYN MD first to find out why the cramping is so severe. There a many treatable  gynecological  maladies and conditions short of hysterectomy that would preserve your future reproductive capacity since you are only 20 years of age. See one soon.

Question 4

can you get a period with a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the cervix was left in place (a supracervical hysterectomy) you can still get vaginal bleeding with each cycle.

Question 5

should i get hysterectomy to stop period my severe period cramps?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is certainly a way to end the problem. Some can reduce the burden with a proper selection of NSAIDS (pain med) taken when cycles are expected. Oral contraceptives can sometimes also help. In the long run, it would be best to consider the pros and cons in a discussion with a gynecologist and make your own decision.

Question 6

after having a partial hysterectomy, will i still have my period?

Accepted Answer

Post hysterectomy: Sometimes we performed what is called a partial hysterectomy, meaning some remains of the cervix are still present. This can cause bleeding after a hysterectomy. Depending on how much cervical tissue  is left behind you can expect some form of light bleeding.

Question 7

im having a hysterectomy this week and i got my period can i the doctor still do it?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Being on your period will not affect the surgeons ability to remove it.

Question 8

i had the essure done several years ago and still have severe bleeding and pain during my period. would i qualify for a hysterectomy? i am 40.

Accepted Answer

Different problems: Essure is done to prevent pregnancy. It does not affect your periods. Heavy periods are very common for women in their late 30-40's. While a hysterectomy is certainly an option ask your doctor if you are a candidate for endometrial ablation. This is a simple office procedure that can solve the problem in minutes without major surgery.

Question 9

is it possible to get some eggs  before having total hysterectomy?  my wife is suppose to have it in 3 weeks and she already missed her last period.

Accepted Answer

Possible....: But it is unlikely that you could find a specialist that would be able to harvest eggs in that short of a time period.  If you are serious about wanting to harvest eggs, you may have to consider pushing back the hysterectomy.

Question 10

i get sick every month before starting my period. it feels like the flu. my gyno wont give me a hysterectomy and i dont wanna feel sick every month?

Accepted Answer

Manage hormones: Even with removal of the uterus, your ovaries will continue the monthly cycle of hormone production, and you may still feel sick. 26 is too young to make you menopausal by removing the ovaries. Hormonal birth control (pills, Depo shot, Nexplanon insert) may be able to prevent these monthly symptoms. Progesterone alone may be able to help your symptoms. Discuss options with your doctor.
