A woman’s sex life is generally not affected by a hysterectomy, and if it is, it may be caused by psychological factors. It is recommended that sexual intercourse should not be considered until three months after surgery.
The uterus is an important reproductive organ that gives birth to life. Hysterectomy will affect menstruation and pregnancy, but generally will not affect sexual life. After hysterectomy, the ovaries function normally and will secrete estrogen to keep the vagina and vulva in a normal state. There is no change in the length of the vagina after the surgery, so it will not affect your sex life.
If the hysterectomy will have an effect on sexual life, it may be caused by psychological fear or psychological disorder. Poor psychological state will affect the ovarian endocrine function, making the body estrogen and progesterone level imbalance, which will lead to sexual life is not coordinated, decreased sexual desire, sexual pleasure is reduced and so on. Such patients should be adjusted psychologically.
In addition, after hysterectomy, regular review should be conducted, and any abnormality should be dealt with promptly.
