Question 1

should i still be in pain after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You could have pain for the first couple of weeks or so. After that it is not normal to have pain other than a mild discomfort.  See your surgeon so that they can rule out an infection, adhesions etc.

Question 2

why am i bleeding after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

After hysterectomy: If you had a supracervical hysterectomy it is not unusual to have mild light periods, depending on how much endometrial tissue is left behind. If your uterus and cervix were both removed, than any bleeding needs to be immediately investigated. Please contact your surgeon's office to set up an appointment.

Question 3

what would be a reason that you have to get a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Need definition: Many people think partial hysterectomy refers to the removal of the ovaries along with uterus.  However, the removal of ovaries is not part of the hysterectomy.  Hysterectomy only refers to the removal of the uterus.  Technically, partial hysterectomy really refers to the removal of the uterus above the cervix (supracervical or subtotal hysterectomy).  There are several reasons for doing this.

Question 4

what are the chances of me having prolapse after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Good support, slim: Vaginal prolapse post hysterectomy is rare if the 3 ligaments supporting the uterus are properly surgically reattached to the vaginal cuff.

Question 5

what are the first signs of having cysts on your ovaries a year after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Impossible: Your ovaries form cysts on a monthly basis that collapse with ovulation. Sometimes they DON'T collapse but even then these cysts are often asymptomatic (you can't feel them) and they wouldn't be associated with having had a hysterectomy. Any symptoms might be due to something else. If worried, see a gynecologist for an exam.

Question 6

can you get ovarian cyst after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

If the ovaries : Were left in place then yes , that can be diagnosed by pelvic exam and ultrasound please see your gyn.

Question 7

i had a partial hysterectomy i have ovaries do i need a pap?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Even though you've had a partial hysterectomy you can still be infected with human papilloma virus which can cause mild moderate or severe cervical dysplasia or vaginal vulvar dysplasia all these can be found on a pap smear.

Question 8

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 9

what could cause vaginal bleeding 2 years after a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Some people develop extra tissue at the back of the vagina called granulation tissue. This can be removed in the office. If you still have your cervix then some people continue to have light periods. Bleeding 2 years after a hysterectomy needs to be evaluated by your surgeon in the office.

Question 10

i have achy pain in my legs and a spotty showing 12 years after a partial hysterectomy.

Accepted Answer

Post-hyst spotting: These symptoms could have one or more causes, and a doctor needs to see you to gather more information. In a partial hysterectomy,  the uterus is removed but the cervix is left intact.  No further bleeding is expected, even if the ovaries are left in.  The doctor would check the cervix for bleeding at the surgical site, and would make sure the leg pain is not from edema from a hormone change.
