Removal of the cervix
I am having surgery due to Endometrial Cancer. I am having the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and tubes removed. i.e. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo Oophorectomy.
I am wondering what the major impact is to me of having my cervix removed, since often it is not removed along with the uterus.

Re: Removal of the cervix
Well, that's a very individual thing. My cervix was removed as part of a TVH, and to be blunt, there has been absolutely NO impact of having it removed.
Women who enjoy having their cervix 'bumped' during intercourse might miss that sensation. However, more women don't enjoy that than do, and many find it painful - and for those women, it's often a relief that it's not there anymore.
The other major impact of removing the cervix in your case would be that it will prevent you from having a recurrence of endometrial cancer in the tissue on the cervix.
Good luck with your surgery!
