Many women will experience varying degrees of decreased sexual function after a hysterectomy, which is mainly manifested by: lack of sexual desire, decreased frequency of sexual intercourse, difficulty in orgasm, etc. In the past, there has been little research on sexual life issues after hysterectomy.
