Pregnancy After Partial Hysterectomy: Is It Possible?

Pregnancy after partial (supracervical) hysterectomy is extremely rare but theoretically possible if:

  • Cervical stump remains with functional endometrium.
  • Ovaries are intact and ovulating.
  • Fallopian tubes are patent.
  • Sperm reaches the cervical canal and fertilizes an egg.
  • Implantation occurs in the cervical stump or residual uterine tissue (cervical/ectopic pregnancy).

Reality: The uterine cavity (where pregnancy normally develops) is gone. Any pregnancy would be nonviable and dangerous (cervical/ectopic pregnancy with high rupture/hemorrhage risk).

If you desire biological children and have ovaries, IVF with gestational surrogacy is the safe path. Consult a reproductive endocrinologist.
