What are the chances of me having another prolapse if my doctor wants me to have a partial hysterectomy?


Uterine Prolapse, he wants to remove my cervix

A partial hysterectomy by definition is removal of the uterus. That said, if you have a partial hyst, you will have 0 chance of having a uterine prolapse because you will have no uterus. There is, however, a slight chance of intestinal and/or bladder prolapse occuring after a hysterectomy. This happens because the organs start to descend downwards, and can lead to such problems like constipation and/or urinary incontinence as well as pain during intercourse. Repair of the supporting structures can be done if this happens to help the patient, and it doesn't happen in all women who have had a hyst.

Removal of the cervix alone is not a hysterectomy; it is called a trachelectomy. Trachelectomy removes the cervix and a small portion of the lower "neck" of the uterus. Vaginal, uterine and bladder prolapse do occur in a small percentage of women who have undergone trachelectomy, but again, this does not happen in the majority of cases and can be treated surgically if and when it does.

Hope that helps.
