Pregnancy after a Partial Hysterectomy (Partial Hysterectomy)

Partial Hysterectomy

A partial hysterectomy is a hysterectomy where becoming pregnant after the procedure is still possible according to some documentation supporting this. However, in all likelihood, other options will have to suffice. Options for having a child should now include finding a surrogate or an adoption. Depending on your financial situation, either of these options should work for you if you truly want to be a parent.

Before your hysterectomy, talk to your doctor and ask him or her the following:

• What are my chances for becoming pregnant after a hysterectomy?
• Which hysterectomy should I have if I want to be left with some possibility for a later pregnancy?
• What are those chances for each procedure?
• Is there any way to become pregnant now and postpone the procedure and if so, what complications do I face?

Talk openly and honest with your doctor and ask her what she recommends for you. If you know child bearing is of importance to you, see if you can realistically postpone the surgery for a hysterectomy. If you are having a hysterectomy because of heavy bleeding, then it’s likely you can try to become pregnant before the procedure.

Pregnancy isn’t something you should take lightly and neither is a hysterectomy. It is possible to become pregnant after a partial hysterectomy but honestly, you should talk to your doctor about whether or not it is likely. In all probability, it will limit your chances of a pregnancy.
