During a total hysterectomy, your womb and cervix (neck of the womb) is removed. A total hysterectomy is usually the preferred option over a subtotal hysterectomy, as removing the cervix means there's no risk of you developing cervical cancer at a later date.
What are the side effects of having your cervix removed?
- pain.
- physical weakness.
- urinary incontinence.
- painful periods.
- vaginal discharge.
- risk of infection.
- limb swelling.
What replaces the cervix after hysterectomy?
The cervix is the lowest part of the uterus where it meets the vagina. During a total or radical hysterectomy, a surgeon removes the woman's whole uterus, including her cervix. The surgeon will then create a vaginal cuff in the place of the cervix.
