What would be a reason that you have to get a partial hysterectomy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Many. : Heavy bleeding, pain, endometriosis, fibroids, prolapse among many others. Hysterectomy is usually considered when more conservative measures do not help. Hope this helps.
