Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship:
Total hysterectomyâThe entire uterus, including the cervix, is removed. Supracervical (also called subtotal or partial) hysterectomyâThe upper part of the uterus is removed, but the cervix is left in place. This type of hysterectomy can only be performed laparoscopically or abdominally.
Does that mean I'd have to get my cervix out, too? If so, will I still be able to have a normal sex life? This is an excellent questions and a very valid concern. The hysterectomy is a very broad term which describes the removal of the uterus but can also mean that ones uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. In the old days, surgeons would remove both the uterus and cervix for all indications. However, today often when a women undergoes a hysterectomy the cervix is left.
