3 weeks post hysterectomy -- PMS/period symptoms?

Hi I'm 3 weeks post bikini cut hysterectomy, both ovaries and cervix intact. My period would be due right about now and I'm having breast tenderness and my face has broken out like a 13 year old in puberty..... anyone else?

As you kept your ovaries you'll More than likely still experience PMS and having your cervix, you will also get mini-periods.

Not to sound stupid, but what's a mini period and how is it possible with no uterus?

The cervix is actually a part of the uterus, not a separate organ. Because there's no clear line to divide it from the rest of the uterus, there's always the possibility of leaving some endometrial tissue behind; because you kept your ovaries, you'll still have some cyclical spotting or bleeding, although not as much as before. I had an LSH, and was told to expect bleeding, but I never had any. Apparently, they can cauterize the cervix to prevent any further bleeding, so if it bothers you, then it's worth asking about. Best wishes for your continued recovery!

Thanks so much for explaining!!
