Uterus .. Cervix - what gives!
Ok maybe this is a dumb question but I was always told the dumb ones are the ones not asked so bare with me. I was just told that they are taking my right ovary & tube and my uterus. My left o and t were removed in 02. Does this mean my cervix goes too?
Trying to wrap my head around all of this and not doing very well. Thanks

Not necessarily - you need to ask and make sure. If they leave your cervix you will still need pap smears and run the risk of mini periods. Ask and make sure.

Okay, now I have a dumb question to add to that. How can you have a mini period with no ovaries?

I would rather have mini periods than deal with the negative effects that I have read about when you have your cervix removed. There is so much info out there I am not sure what to believe in and what not to believe in.

You may still build up some endometrium that will need to slough off each month that will cause a mini period. I got rid of my cervix doctor said my cancer risk was to great and not to take that chance. I am not that far post op but so far so good - no problems at all
