Question: Is it true that a woman does not need to go to a ob/gyn after!?
Is it true that a woman does not need to go to a ob/gyn after having a hysterectomy!? I was told that since I do not have an uterus anymore there is not need to go anymore!. The thing is that I have half and ovary left, so I do not have to take hormone replacements!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
With no uterus or cervix, you are at zero risk for cervical cancer, which is what a pap smear is used to test for!. However, I think that you should still go about every 2-3 years to get your breasts examined, and since you still have an ovary you may still want them to do the internal part of the exam to feel for cysts or abnormalities on your ovary!. If I were you I would get in touch with the gyno and just ask them what their recommendations are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should still see a doctor for a yearly physical!. There is more to your body than your uterus!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
