Total hysterectomy needs to depend on whether the ovaries are preserved or not, if simple total hysterectomy does not affect the couple’s sex life (relationship), if the ovaries total hysterectomy may affect the couple’s sex life.
1. Simple total hysterectomy: the role of the uterus is to have menstruation and to conceive a fetus. When the uterus is removed, there is no change in the access to sex and no change in the level of hormones secreted by the ovaries, so it does not affect the normal couple’s sex life.
2. Total hysterectomy of the ovaries: The ovaries are the organs that secrete estrogen and progesterone. Once the ovaries are removed, the level of female hormones decreases, the vaginal secretions decrease, and the quality of sexual life may decrease.
Total hysterectomy needs to be individualized by the doctor according to the specific condition and the patient’s age, so as not to affect the quality of life.
