Hello Tina,

I can understand your concern. Partial hysterectomy is the procedure where uterus is removed by surgery wile cervix is kept in place. From the symptoms you are describing, it seems the cervix has got infected or some structural or functional abnormality of ovaries.

It is very difficult to reach a specific diagnosis and advise management for you here. I would advise you to visit your gynecologist for physical examination and ultrasound (USG) for specific diagnosis of the condition.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
