Hysterectomy - Removal of the Uterus

Hysterectomy

A Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus. There are different types of hysterectomy. They are Subtotal or Partial, Total, and Radical.

The parts involved are the uterus or womb, the cervix, the vagina, the fallopian tubes and the ovaries.

Sub total or partial hysterectomy Removal of the uterus but the cervix is left in place. It is believed that a woman maintains more of her sexual sensations with her cervix in place.

Total hysterectomy Removing both the uterus and the cervix. The fallopian tubes and ovaries may also be removed.
Radical hysterectomy The uterus, the upper part of the vagina, and the fallopian tubes and sometimes the ovaries are removed.

Your gynecologist will advise as to the best course of action. Many doctors do advise against the removal of the cervix, fallopian tubes and the ovaries unless there is a growth or other problems with them.
