What are the effects of removing the uterus?

The uterus is located inside the pelvic cavity of the female body. It is also an important organ for female hormones and is important for nurturing life. If the uterus is removed, it will have a great impact on the body and easily affect the health of women. It will also easily affect the secretion of hormones, leading to ovarian aging, etc. It will also cause some pain to the female body, and the impact is very large.

The uterus is not only a brooding pouch, it is also the target organ for female hormones and one of the most important female sexual characteristics. What are the effects of hysterectomy? After hysterectomy, 78% of patients need to take estrogen to maintain female hormone levels. What are the effects of hysterectomy? After a hysterectomy, many women will feel that they are "fake women", "empty women", or "half women". Psychological anxiety, irritability, and emotional out-of-control will follow, affecting the harmony and peace of the family.

Hysterectomy not only destroys the dynamic endocrine balance between the uterus and ovaries before menopause, but also can cause ovarian function decline. Since a considerable part of the blood supply to the ovaries comes from the ascending branches of the uterine arteries, although hysterectomy in premenopausal women is done to preserve the ovarian tissue as much as possible, the ligation of nearby blood vessels will still affect the blood supply to the ovaries, thereby reducing ovarian function and causing a sudden drop in serum estrogen levels. Without a gradual adaptation process, menopausal symptoms occur significantly earlier, and the skin becomes rough, dull, etc.

Will hysterectomy affect sex life?

Women who have had their uterus removed will inevitably worry that it will affect the harmony of their sexual life. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. After a hysterectomy, women may experience the following changes in their sexual life:

1. In the early stages of sexual intercourse, the blood flow to the pelvic cavity will decrease due to hysterectomy, and the physical tension caused by the rising uterus will also disappear, making sexual pleasure less obvious.

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

3. During the climax of pleasure, the uterine contraction also disappears.

4. Since the hysterectomy has been performed, the blood in the pelvic cavity cannot stay longer, so the pleasure will disappear more easily.

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.
