Had a Partial Hysterectomy a Year Ago, Do I Still Need Paps? Posted: 05-21-04 00:35am
Hello,
I am totally new here. I had a partial
last year in january and my doc never told
me if I still need to have a pap test
every year. I was also injured during my
hysterectomy, they pulled my ureter out of
my bladder and I had to go back for
emergency surgery two days later. They
sent me home the day after my hysterectomy
and never realized that they injured me.
I was wondering if there was anyone else
out there this has happened to?
Thsnks for any replies

Hello imalone5,
you said you had a partial,did they leave
your cervix?
I think that if you still have a cervix
then you still need a pap yearly. At
least that is what my doctor toled me.
You could call your doctors office and ask
the nurse. Hope this helps
god bless

Thanks for the reply. Yes I still do have
my cervix, I only had my uterus and left
ovary removed. So thanks again for the
info, rachel

Hysterectomy Posted: 06-03-04 19:17pm
I had a complete hysterectomy and was told
to still get pap smears every year for the
rest of my life, especially being sexually
active and having cancer, I would
definitely check with the dr!
Sincerely,
sandy
