I know this is a really dumb question, but....From: Kate (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 30 Oct 2000 15:25:46 -0600 (CST)
I have to ask anyway. I have been reading everything I can on Hysterectomy since I am new to this whole thing just having one done 10months ago. Now I have read numerous posts about getting pregnant afterwards even though you are totally sterilized. Now I know this is a rare event(like getting hit by lightening 10times in a row) but I need to ask this question. I had a supracervical hysterectomy due to retained placenta at childbirth now I had an U/S done a few weeks ago and they found that my right fallopian tube is scarred to the top of my cervical canal. I do still have both ovaries and tubes. Now my question is Am I at any higher risk of possibly having an ectopic pregnancy since my tube is right there at the top of cervix? Also I know my cervix was closed up at the time of hyst, but can there possibly be an opening anywhere in the top of my cervical canal at all? Or are the suturing that is normally done with a supracervical hyst normally pretty tight to not let anything past? I know it is a dumb question, but I read somewhere that ectopic pregnancy after supracervical hyst is explainable due to the patent cervical canal to transport sperm and that you should be aware of fallopian tube prolapse into the vagina for an increased risk of this happening. Any thoughts?
