This is all very confusing. It doe not sound like your doc actually did
a hysterectomy. I can't picture what happened. These questions would
best be answered by consulting again with your doctor. Certainly, any
case as serious as this sounds should be reviewed to both his and your
satisfaction and complete understanding.
