The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina.
Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus.
Your uterus will stay intact and you will keep your ability to have children after this procedure. Another alternative is to choose not to have this procedure, recognizing the possible risks of your condition. You should ask your doctor about these choices. Plan for your care and recovery after the operation, especially if you are to have general anesthesia. Allow for time to rest.
