Pregnancy After Supracervical Hysterectomy: What You Need to Know

A supracervical hysterectomy, also known as a subtotal hysterectomy, is a surgical procedure in which the upper part of the uterus is removed, but the cervix is left intact. It is a less extensive procedure than a total hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes.

After a supracervical hysterectomy, it is not possible to become pregnant, but it is still important to use birth control if sexually active. This is because the cervix still produces mucus, which can carry sperm to the fallopian tubes. Additionally, there is a small chance that the remaining uterine tissue could grow back, which could potentially allow pregnancy to occur.
