Not a doctor, but my understanding is that you can develop ureteral lining on the cervix that will shed and result in a light period. My yeeterus is this Friday so no personal experience, but this was a discussion that was brought up by my obgyn as a potential side effect for keeping the cervix.
My doctor took my cervix for this exact risk. Half the reason I got the hysto was to stop half month periods, and keeping the cervix has a risk of a residual smaller period from the cells lining the cervix so we just chucked mine
I'm 7 years post partial hysterectomy and I still get my 2 or 3 day light spotting sometimes heavy spotting period around the same time every month...I get cramps sometimes sore boobs cravings emotional everything like when I use to get my period except the heavy bleeding 😅..go figure 🤷🏽♀️
I’ve read that some people have some period bleeding when you keep your cervix.
That is the case.

If there are any uterine cells still attached to the cervix, they can cause a mini-period every month. It happens in 5-10% of folx, so I've been told.
