Can I have intercourse after total hysterectomy for cervical cancer?

Women with cervical cancer need to have their uterus completely removed, as well as their adnexa, and lymph nodes removed in the pelvis to avoid lymph node metastasis. After total hysterectomy for cervical cancer, women can have normal intercourse even if they need to have sex. After hysterectomy, it will not affect women’s normal sex life, and the place for sex is mainly in the vagina, but it is recommended that intercourse should be arranged only after three months or more after cervical cancer surgery, when there is no abnormality and the body condition is back to normal, so that the recovery of the vaginal stump incision will not be affected by premature intercourse. It is also recommended that women can use lubricant to lubricate the vagina during intercourse, because after removal of uterine adnexa, the change of hormone level may make the vagina dry and uncomfortable, so it is necessary to pay attention to intercourse hygiene to avoid infection.
