Can I still have my period after having my uterus removed?

Nowadays, many women suffer from uterine diseases. Because women's uterus is relatively delicate and fragile, women need to pay special attention to protection. If uterine disease is severe, the uterus may even need to be removed. After a hysterectomy, women will lose the ability to become pregnant and will also have other problems, which will cause great harm to the female body. So, is it still possible to have menstruation after a hysterectomy?

Menstruation is a cyclical phenomenon in which estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries stimulate the growth and shedding of the endometrium, causing bleeding. If there is a problem with either the ovaries or the uterus, menstrual disorders or menopause may occur. Therefore, once the uterus is removed, it is impossible to have menstruation.

In fact, when a woman undergoes a hysterectomy, only the uterus and ovaries are retained. The body will continue to secrete hormones and body fluids related to sexual behavior, and the body's sexual function is exactly the same as before the operation. Therefore, as long as the woman herself lets go of the psychological burden, it will not affect her sexual relationship. Therefore, when a man and a woman have a tense sexual relationship, they should consider consulting a specialist doctor.

What are the consequences of having your uterus removed?

Easy to have no pleasure

Since the hysterectomy has been performed, the pelvic cavity cannot keep blood in the body for a longer period of time, so the pleasure will disappear more easily.

Difficulty in vaginal dilation

The scar after hysterectomy will make the pelvic muscles lack elasticity and the vagina will be more difficult to expand.

Premature aging

Removing the uterus will also have a great impact on the entire ovarian function, because for the ovaries to be healthy, the entire endocrine balance must be maintained, and without the uterus, this balance will be disrupted. Therefore, for women, after the uterus is removed, the ovaries will age prematurely.

Causes loss of libido

Most patients can still have normal sexual intercourse after hysterectomy, but 6% of patients still have their sexual life affected after hysterectomy. Analyzing the causes, there are three main reasons: scar formation, vaginal atrophy and mental psychology.

Affects the secretion of estrogen

After the hysterectomy is performed, it not only affects the secretion of female hormones, but also the elastic tissue around the entire urethra, causing these elastic tissues to become thinner, and may even cause the symptoms of the entire urinary system to worsen.
