Your doctor will decide whether to make a vertical...
or horizontal incision.
An incision is made cutting through the skin and muscle of the abdomen.
Next, the surgeon will inspect the general condition of the abdominal organs.
Once the ovaries are exposed the uterus can then be separated from the bladder.
Next, the fallopian tubes are tied off and cut.
All arteries and veins connected to the uterus are tied off and cut as well.
Now the uterus can be pulled upward. This stretches the vagina
allowing the surgeon to cut the uterus free at the cervix.
The surgeon closes the top of the vagina with stitches,
and provides added support by attaching the ligaments that once held the uterus in place.
The incision is then closed...
and a drainage tube may be left inserted at the site.
Finally, a sterile bandage is applied.

@grettagrids I am sorry to hear about what is happening in your life, but please understand that it takes infinitely more than a uterus to define a woman. I had a total hysterectomy 10+ years ago so I understand to an extent what you are experiencing. please don't beat yourself up.

Aww im sorry sweetie :( Sorry for late repley. Havent had the computer for a few days. My brother was fixing it. Started slowing down and multiplying everything in its memory and now it has a virus. Your woman is nice but it isnt everything. People care about you for who you are not what you are. I enjoy talking to you^_^ I dont care what you look like, i know who you are.
