Is there a way to tell if my hysterectomy was a success?

Yes, there are several ways to determine if your hysterectomy was successful. One of the most important is to ask your doctor how many lymph nodes they removed during surgery. If you had cancer and your doctor removed all of the affected lymph nodes, then your surgery was likely a success. Additionally, you can check for any signs of complications such as bleeding or infection that could indicate a failure of the procedure.
