Partial Hysterectomy.. I Need Info Please!!! Posted: 02-06-04 17:45pm
I am to have a partial hysterectomy soon,
leaving the ovaries if healthy. I need to
know if periods continue if the cervix is
left in place. Does the cervix really
hold the pelvic floor in place? Or is
incontinence a common occurance when thec
cervix is removed? I don't want to have a
follow up surgery later to put the bladder
back if it falls. I had 3 kids and my
abdominal muscles aren't terrific. I
could live with a light period each month
if it means I won't have to be opened up
again for bladder placement. Please let
me know if anyone has info on these
items. My doctor just told me a little
and then told me to research it myself.
Thanks!

I am 34 now and had a partial about 1 year
ago due to sever uncontrollable
bleeding.......As time has gone by I do
have a little incontinence sneezing,
running, jumping always have to go to the
restroom before any of these strenous
activites....I will sooner or later
probably have something done to repair
it... :
