Gazeygoo - there is a form of partial hysterectomy where the cervix and possibly the lower portion of the uterus is spared.
It is certainly possible to have a menstrual period if you still have the facility to make an endometrial lining, and if you have an intact menstrual cycle.

NO no and no. The menstrual bleeding comes from the uterus. During a partial hysterectomy the uterus is removed but the tubes and ovaries remain. During a complete hysterectomy the uterus, tubes and ovaries are all removed. The end result is that the organ that did the bleeding is gone so obviously there is no bleeding. There may be some bleeding however during the healing time following the surgery.
The medical definition of partial hysterectomy is removal of the uterus with the cervix left intact. Whatever procedure you are speaking of is NOT a partial hysterectomy. I cannot find that anywhere but I suspect you are confusing the removal of the uterus with the cervix remaining with the type of surgery that removes both. I am finding it hard to believe a surgeon would leave a portion of the uterus.

I had a partial hysterectomy five years ago. When I first had the partial hysterctomy, I didn't have a period for a couple of months. They doctor said that was normal. After, a few months I start having a monthly cycle. The answer to your question is yes.

No, you will not have a period without a uterus, If you still have your ovaries, you will not experience menopausal symptoms

Depending on what was removed. If the uterus was removed then the answer is no.
