[7] If the vaginal cuff is compromised, vaginal evisceration can occur with the small intestine protruding out through the vagina. [3]

[13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...
The cervical canal is a pathway through which sperm enter the uterus after being induced by estradiol after penile-vaginal intercourse, [21] and some forms of artificial insemination.

[15] Hysterectomies may also be accompanied by removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes, called a salpingo-oophorectomy. Additionally, hormone therapy which seeks to block the growth of cancer cells may also be used in the ...
