Can I have sex after hysterectomy?

You can still have sex after hysterectomy as long as the patient can keep it in the vagina. Generally speaking, the recovery will be better 3-6 months after the operation. It is recommended that the patient return to the gynecology department for transvaginal color ultrasound. If there is no problem, you can arrange to have sex. In fact, hysterectomy will not affect the patient's married life, nor will it make the patient more and more masculine. Therefore, the patient does not need to worry too much, but should maintain a stress-free psychological state and have regular return visits.

In addition, patients must increase their nutrition after cervical cancer surgery, and it is recommended to take Chinese herbal medicine to enhance the body's immune ability. You can have sex after uterine cancer removal, but it usually takes three months after the operation. Because uterine cancer requires total hysterectomy, the sutures in the vaginal stump take about three months to heal completely. Having sex too early can easily cause the vaginal stump to rupture and bleed. Secondly, the patient basically needs radiotherapy after surgery, which generally requires six treatment courses. If the patient is in a bad mood, it is not recommended to have sex, and the patient's own immunity and resistance are relatively poor during chemotherapy.

For women with early-stage cervical cancer, they usually undergo laparotomy to remove all the uterine appendages, and also undergo pelvic lymph node cleaning surgery. Because most women are in a relatively weak state after surgery, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after surgery. However, more than one month after the operation, when the woman's body has basically recovered, she can indeed arrange to have sex. Only when having sex, men and women must pay attention to cleaning the vulva and genitals to avoid vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

According to the clinical classification of cervical cancer, surgical treatments include extramuscular fascial hysterectomy, subtotal hysterectomy, total hysterectomy and lymph node removal. Total hysterectomy may destroy the anatomical consistency of the vagina, shorten the vagina, cause insufficient glandular duct secretion, cause vaginal dryness, and lose the lubricating effect of cervical secretions.

If the uterus and ovaries are also removed, in addition to the immediate decrease in estrogen levels and decreased libido, it will also cause a series of symptoms and complications, such as female menopausal syndrome and osteoporosis.
