Different types of hysterectomy have different effects on sexual life. Hysterectomy is divided into subtotal hysterectomy, total hysterectomy and extensive hysterectomy. The majority of hysterectomies are total hysterectomies, which have no particular impact on sexual life, so there is no need to worry too much.1. Subtotal hysterectomy: It refers to the removal of the body part of the uterus and the preservation of the cervical part, and this type of surgery usually has no direct impact on sexual life. However, the cervical area left behind may sometimes cause cervical lesions or even cancer of the cervical stump, so this type of surgery is not recommended at present; 2. Total hysterectomy: not only the body of the uterus is removed, but also the cervix, and the vaginal stump needs to be sutured, and most of the vagina will not be significantly shortened after surgery, so there is basically no special impact on sex life; 3. Extensive hysterectomy: it is mostly used for the treatment of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer. Extensive hysterectomy not only removes the uterus and parametrial tissues, but also the upper part of the vagina, which often causes vaginal shortening after surgery. Although there are now vaginal lengthening surgeries, such as replacing the upper part of the vagina with a peritoneum, the results are not particularly good, so it can have some impact on sexual life. In addition, if the postoperative pathology suggests lymph node metastasis, or positive cut margins or positive parametrium, patients have to supplement radiotherapy, and the vagina will be atrophied and most of them will not be able to have normal sex. In addition, some people are prone to vaginal dryness and pain after hysterectomy, which is not conducive to intercourse, so you can use some lubricating fluid to help relieve this symptom.
