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

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

Depends: If you have had vaginal deliveries, your risk is already elevated for having vaginal prolapse symptoms. A hysterectomy could potentially increase your risk unless the surgeon is very careful to re-support the vagina to the utero-sacral ligaments. If you already have some degree of prolapse it can be repaired at the time of your hysterectomy.
