Will the removal of the uterus and ovaries affect the sexual life of the couple?

Many female friends suffer from some gynecological diseases, and more serious ones will have their uterus and ovaries removed. However, there will be some doubts and concerns after the uterus is removed. Many friends will worry that will the removal of the uterus and ovaries affect their health and married life? What will happen to their sexual life in the future after the removal of the uterus and ovaries?

No, a hysterectomy will not give you male characteristics. Some women instinctively confuse sexual function with reproductive ability. They believe that a woman's uterus is indispensable. After having their uterus removed, they experience a decrease in libido and lack of sexual desire. There are even a very small number of women who believe that having their uterus removed is equivalent to having all their sexual organs removed, and that they will no longer have sex and will become "men." Someone once did a survey: women who have undergone hysterectomy are more likely to suffer from depression and mental disorders than other women. In the doctor's opinion, such worries are usually completely unnecessary.

In fact, the uterus is a part of the female internal reproductive organs. Its main functions are to produce menstruation, nurture the fetus and give birth. On the contrary, some women feel more comfortable during sex after surgery because surgery corrects serious gynecological diseases and anemia, or frees them from sexual pain. There are also some women who used to worry about getting pregnant after sex, or who were afraid that their existing uterine fibroids would become malignant. After having their uterus removed, these risks are eliminated, and they will feel that their sexual desire has increased and their sex life has become more comfortable. You can live happily even if you lose your ovaries. Ovaries are the source of female hormones. Women with hormones have delicate skin, sweet voice, beautiful figure and normal sexual desire. Once all the ovaries are removed, the secretion of estrogen will stop. Women in menopause may experience hot flashes, headaches, systemic nervous tension, and decreased secretions, which will increase pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. Therefore, some women during this period will fear and hate sex. However, many loving couples in the world still have a happy sex life during menopause. They caress each other, which speeds up their heartbeat and breathing, and arouses their sexual desire. Therefore, looking at the entire sexual response process, psychological and neurological responses are the basis of a happy sex life. In fact, even if a woman loses her ovaries, she can still maintain a good sexual relationship. Moreover, with the development of medicine, oral or injected hormones can be used to supplement systemic hormones. Husbands should give their wives more care and love. Some patients must have their ovaries removed at the same time when they have a hysterectomy. After the operation, the estrogen level decreases, affecting the secretion of secretions.

These patients can use estrogen replacement drugs, taken orally or applied topically, to reduce the discomfort of sexual intercourse. In addition, the husband's attitude towards hysterectomy is also an important factor in whether the sex life will be happy in the future. If a husband believes that a hysterectomy equates to reduced libido or loss of feminine characteristics, he may intentionally avoid having sex with his wife. If the husband has a depressed attitude towards his wife's hysterectomy and shows anxiety about her future sex life, it will also affect his wife's sex life and sexual psychological recovery after the operation. In short, hysterectomy and ovary removal does not mean the end of sex life. On the contrary, surgery removes the disease and can actually improve a woman's sexual performance.

Since the removal of the uterus and ovaries will not affect the original married life, female friends who need to have their uterus and ovaries removed do not need to worry. Wives should not refuse treatment because they have certain physical illnesses and their uterus and ovaries will be removed, which will affect their future sex life with their lovers. So wives should rest assured to treat their own illnesses!
