Is it possible to have sex without a uterus?

Some people are born without a uterus, but as long as they have a vagina, they can have a normal sexual life. Some people have their uterus removed later in life. This type of hysterectomy generally does not affect their sexual life.

If a wide incision is done due to cervical cancer, the vagina where the uterus is removed will be cut off by three centimeters, or if the patient receives radiotherapy after surgery, the vagina will be noticeably shorter. The normal posterior wall of the vagina is ten to twelve centimeters. After the cut, it will be three or four centimeters shorter, and then it will shrink a little bit due to radiotherapy. Then you may experience discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse, but it does not mean that you cannot have sex. It just means that the quality of your sex life will not be that high.

But if the baby is congenitally without a uterus but has a vagina, then he or she can have a normal sexual life. There are also people who are born without a uterus and vagina. In this case, vaginoplasty can be performed, with the sigmoid colon or peritoneum replacing the vagina. After the operation, normal sexual life can be resumed.

What are the main dangers of not having a uterus?

1. Easy to age. For female friends, if they don’t have a uterus, it is very easy to show symptoms of aging. Especially after many female diseases occur, we have to remove the uterus, which is very likely to cause premature ovarian failure in women, followed by aging problems.

2. Bone and joint pain. Although it seems that this has no direct connection with the female uterus, the absence of a female uterus often means that the female body's circulation is in a state of absence. This situation is very likely to cause women to experience long-term bone and joint pain, and may also induce a series of joint diseases.

3. Diseases are common. As long as the uterus exists, women will have periodic menstruation, which is the key to helping our bodies excrete excess toxins. However, if we do not have a uterus, or if the uterus is missing, it is easy for toxins to accumulate in the female body and cannot be discharged normally. This situation can easily induce the occurrence of a variety of gynecological diseases.
