How Do You Prepare For A Partial Hysterectomy?

0

A partial, or subtotal, hysterectomy removes only the upper two-thirds of the uterus. The ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix are not removed. Partial hysterectomies are done through the abdomen either by an incision or through the use of a laparoscope. A partial is the least severe method of hysterectomy, but like any major surgery it requires time to prepare and time to heal. Understand that after a partial hysterectomy you may still experience monthly bleeding and pain. Material left in the lower part of the uterus may mimic the menstrual cycle even though the majority of the uterus is gone. Realize that any time you change the balance amongst the reproductive organs, menopause or menopause-like symptoms can occur. An interruption or decrease in blood flow to the ovaries and fallopian tubes can cause them to stop functioning or function less efficiently. Acknowledge the limitations of a partial hysterectomy. Removing a portion of the uterus may not alleviate all of your symptoms. Ti
