You sure can...There are two types of hysterectomy, the partial and the complete. In a partial hysterectomy, only the uterus is removed. In a complete or total hysterectomy, the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed. (The medical term for removal of the ovaries is oophorectomy.)

Yes. The term for removal of the Uterus, Fallopian Tubes, & Ovaries is HystoSalpingoOoporectomy. It a lot of cases, when the Uterus is removed, one Tube, & Ovary are left in place. Each person is different, and each case should be discussed with Medical Staff.

An ovulation test will be positive as long as either ovary has a mature follicle. Also, if an egg is released from your left ovary it can still be picked up by the right fallopian tube and still be fertilized. This isn't as common, but it does happen. As far as being able to tell which ovary has the mature follicle about to release, there are 2 ways you can try to tell. You have to be very in tune with your body, but when you are about to ovulate one side of your vulva will swell, this is the side that will release the egg, if the right swells the eggs in the right ovary. Also, there is a lymph node in your upper thigh/groin area that can indicate ovulation. Put your hand down by your groin with your middle finger on the main artery in your leg, you should be able to feel it pulsing, and this will put your index finger right over the lymph node. It swells to about the size of a pea on the side you are ovulating from. I know this sounds very confusing, but get the book Taking Charge of Your Fertiltiy by Toni Weschler, it has illustrations showing exactly what to feel for. Good luck!

Yes your ovaries (if the dr. is on board and sees no problem with it ) can be left in tact. I am having a partial on 4-26, they are removing the uterus, left tube and left ovary.

That's the Gynecologist decision. Often, IF he / she feels that the ovaries stand no great risk of disease and they are harmonally helpful, the doctor will leave them. A family member faced this isssue back in 1969, and her ovaries were left for the above mentioned reasons. Over time, it was realized that the ovaries provided little / no hormonal difference; she was placed on hormone medicine to off-set the problem of insufficient hormone production by her ovaries.

yes... they may also just be able to remove the fibroids & not the entire uterus or do a D&C.

Talk to your doctor - it depends on your particular condition.
