Most kinds of hysterectomy make it so the person is very unlikely to get pregnant ([[sterilization]]). However, as long as there are still some parts of the ovaries and cervix, there may be some risk left of ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy developing outside the uterus, in which the pregnancy is almost always non-viable and life-threatening to the pregnant person). Some kinds of hysterectomy make a person stop menstruating and go through menopause, though it doesn't necessarily get rid of all symptoms related to menstruation. | Most kinds of hysterectomy make it so the person is very unlikely to get pregnant ([[sterilization]]).
