After hysterectomy, couples can have coitus, but the quality of sexual life may be affected to a certain extent, as hysterectomy is categorized into two types of surgery: subtotal hysterectomy and total hysterectomy, which have different impacts on different types of surgery. 1. Subtotal hysterectomy: only the body of the uterus is removed, the cervix is preserved, and the vagina can be maintained at its original length, which has no effect on normal sex life. For those with decreased ovarian function, the vagina will be dry, so some lubricant can be added. 2. Total hysterectomy: the body of the uterus and the cervix are removed, and the vaginal stump is stitched up. The length of the vagina will become shorter, and there will be fibrosis at the stump, which may affect the quality of sexual life. After hysterectomy, women need to keep calm, family members should give enough support and care, and if they feel uncomfortable, they need to consult a doctor in time, and under the guidance of the doctor to actively treat.
