    This is so reassuring thank you! I’m 44 years old, 21 days post supracervical for large fibroids, and I had to fight to keep my cervix. The surgeon kept asking me every time we spoke if I was sure I wanted to keep the cervix. And I kept having to reiterate “I have always had perfect paps, no family history of cervical, endometrial or ovarian cancer, and no HPV. Literally just benign fibroids. So yes. We’re keeping the cervix!” To a point where I wanted to write “keep the cervix” in sharpie on my stomach as a reminder on the surgery day. I also think there needs to be more accurate studies on women’s sexual satisfaction pre and post hysterectomy to get a more accurate answer to that question. It’s sadly so common for women not having pleasurable sex where they achieve orgasm so maybe their sex life is the same post because it wasn’t great pre? Or maybe they’re in a relationship or marriage where sex is no longer a priority? Or are asexual so they would report it being the same. Or, a lot of women can only achieve orgasm from stimulation outside the vagina so a total hysterectomy wouldn’t change their sexual satisfaction. However, for those of us (TMI) who achieve better stronger more satisfying orgasms through vaginal intercourse we absolutely want to keep the cervix because it plays a role in achieving orgasm. How are we not talking about this in 2023? Not to mention more accurate up to date studies need to done on hormone, mental and cardiovascular health pre vs post hysterectomy of all three types of hysterectomy. Considering it’s the second most common surgery for woman in the USA there’s a HUGE data set just waiting to be tapped into. Included in the studies should be pre and post surgery: diet? Exercise levels? Stress levels? AGE? Alcohol & drug use? Smoker vs nonsmoker? Has or did not have children? Hormone levels? Bloodwork? GENETIC HISTORY? What type of hysterectomy? Follow up 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 10 years. Combine that follow up with a yearly doctor visit. Someone needs to do this. Because it seems, it’s all way to convoluted and not thoroughly or recently researched.

      @joystarrturk Thank you. Glad you got what you wanted! I give my patients the choice. I do recommend removing it for those with many abnormal paps in order to reduce risk of cervical cancer.

    Good video. Some thoughts on recommendations for removing the cervix: Spotting is not really an issue. After removing the body the bleeding stops or is definitely lower. Bleeding is in general a normal process. Woman should decide on their own. You also should continue regular checking and if the doctor takes a pap is not an issue. Also (very rare) the vault can get cancer too-patients with pre-cancer pap results should (after total operation) be tested. I (not a woman) could live with spotting and low pain if they don’t cut my vagina. Ask a man if someone should cut on his penis. The answer wouldn’t surprise anybody. Also adenomyosis improves a lot just by removing the body. This should a patient decide on her own. Some doctors are narcissists and want to make decisions for others without having to pay if they are wrong. I appreciate your approach. Keep on with your great work.
    Best wishes from the old continent

    What would cause heavy bleeding with no diagnosis of fibroids cancer or endo? Very confusing. I have very heavy periods but none of the above. My uterus is larger than most. I'm scheduled for a total hysterectomy in a couple weeks. They're leaving my ovaries. Also wondering in these situations where there's no formal diagnosis as to why the heavy bleeding can the surgeon tell more when they operate? Do scans miss things?

      Make sure you have a full hormonal panel done, hormonal imbalances can cause heavy bleeding. bleeding disorders is another one.

    I feel like my cervix moves when I have an orgasm and I do not want to lose that if I had a hysterectomy, I have endometriosis, but I also have PSSD from previously taking antidepressant, but I can still have an orgasm at the moment, and I do not want to lose that that is all I have left I cannot fill emotions they are all blunted from being on an antidepressant in the past.

      Why are you not telling them more facts? Fibroids grow on cervix, endometriosis grows on the cervix, there is no proven fact about orgasm and cervix, light monthly bleeding can most certainly occur as well. It is already a scary surgery for any woman and you must give all facts to help the woman make an educated decision. I swear as far as we are you would think there was a better surgery for women concerning this issue. I pray that there will be for future women.

      I am going to have a partial hysterectomy soon due to fibroids and adenomyosis. And I am keeping my cervix.
      I always had a normal pap smear.
      I will still attend regular checkups, and if any issues arise, I will address them at that time.
      Some women do have cervical O, and keeping the cervix helps with the pelvic floor.
