What’s the difference between keeping the cervix and removing it?

The main difference between hysterectomy with cervix preservation and hysterectomy with cervix removal is the postoperative effects. Post-operative effects are different: as the cervix has more glands, the preserved cervix still has secretion function after surgery, which is conducive to the maintenance of normal vaginal function and the patient’s physical and mental recovery; whereas not preserving the cervix may lead to scarring, shortening of the vagina and reduction of the amount of mucus, which is not conducive to the patient’s physical and mental recovery after surgery. Whether or not the cervix is preserved during hysterectomy should depend on the patient’s condition, which varies with the patient’s condition and the appropriate surgical method, and the treatment should be in accordance with the doctor’s prescription.
