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.
