A member asked:
Never had kids but need hysterectomy. if i keep my cervix does that help to provide support so that i don't get prolapse?

Possibly: There is some evidence that keeping the cervix might have some benefits in preventing prolapse in some patients. Since you have never been pregnant your risk of prolapse is low. You will need to discuss your specific case with your surgeon.
