Can a woman have sex without a uterus?

The uterus is an indispensable organ for women. The creation of children and the onset of menstruation all take place in this organ. However, there is a group of people who are forced to choose to have a hysterectomy, such as excessive bleeding caused by uterine fibroids, severe adenomyosis, and various malignant tumors involving the uterus.

Therefore, when faced with the issue of hysterectomy, they usually have many concerns, such as worrying that hysterectomy will affect their married life, that the lack of a uterus will cause aging, and even that it will affect their female characteristics.

Will hysterectomy affect the couple's sex life?

The vagina is the passage for the baby to be delivered and it is also an organ that affects sexual life. If the cervix is ​​removed during surgery, the vagina will be shorter, but women can still carry out normal sexual life. This is because there are many wrinkles in the vagina, which are very flexible and elastic. The normal sexual life must not be affected by being too short. However, some women may experience decreased libido due to lower estrogen levels after surgery.

The satisfaction rate of marital life decreases for some women after total hysterectomy, which is mostly due to psychological barriers, such as reduced self-identity; but for some women, because they do not have the burden of unmarried pregnancy, their marital life is more satisfactory.

Does hysterectomy cause aging?

It is also a misunderstanding that some people say that hysterectomy can cause premature ejaculation. Generally speaking, the most immediate change of simple hysterectomy is the cessation of menstruation and the inability to get pregnant on your own. The problem of ovulation is controlled by the uterus and ovaries. As long as the health of the uterus and ovaries is maintained, women are unlikely to experience premature ovulation in theory.

Some women do experience dry hair, irritability, insomnia, irritability and other symptoms after having a hysterectomy. When they encounter these symptoms, they usually feel that they are old. In fact, these symptoms are caused by the strong stimulation of the surgery on the female body. It is the body's response to the surgery. This change will gradually adapt to it after a period of time through the body's self-adjustment or appropriate medication. These symptoms will also be alleviated or disappear.

What are the consequences of a hysterectomy?

Menstrual period disappears

Menarche is the main manifestation of the falling of the uterine wall. Of course, the uterine wall is gone after the hysterectomy. However, if a subtotal hysterectomy is performed, preserving part of the endometrium of the cervix, the possibility of a small amount of menarche is not eliminated.
